Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty cars have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish substance.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Police then found multiple other marked cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement report preliminary tests show the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; officials are not yet cognizant of any injuries in association with the event," they added.
City officials said they were attempting "to solve the case" and have requested to the residents for information.
An important official commented the attack rendered him speechless and required to be addressed promptly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, recalling the killing of nine people by a shooter focusing on individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
