Local Police
Approximately 50 vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Vehicles, walls and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered many other marked cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state early analysis suggest the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to where it came from; investigators are presently not informed of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the residents for details.
A senior official stated the vandalism rendered him stunned and required to be addressed promptly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on a platform, referring to the death of nine individuals by a assailant targeting people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
