Local Police
Roughly 50 automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.
Vehicles, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Law enforcement say they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.
The substance had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then found many other vandalized vehicles and building exteriors in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials state early analysis suggest the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to its origin; officials are not yet cognizant of any harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the community for information.
A high-ranking official said the attack made him without words and required to be solved promptly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing attack in 2020," he stated on a platform, recalling the killing of nine people by a shooter focusing on people of migrant background in February 2020.
