Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Law enforcement say they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then found numerous other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials state preliminary tests show the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; officials are presently not aware of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were working "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the community for tips.
A senior political figure said the vandalism rendered him speechless and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the killing of nine people by a shooter focusing on residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
