Area Law Enforcement
Around 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were marked, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement say they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then found multiple other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials state initial examinations suggest the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; officials are not yet aware of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to solve the incident" and have requested to the residents for information.
A senior political figure stated the incident made him stunned and had to be addressed rapidly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right attack in 2020," he stated on a platform, recalling the death of nine victims by a shooter aiming at people of migrant background in 2020.
