Area Law Enforcement
Approximately 50 vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they announced in a statement.
Officers report they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a man noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Officers then located numerous other marked automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police state early analysis suggest the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; investigators are presently not aware of any injuries in relation with the event," they commented.
Local authorities said they were trying "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the public for information.
An important political figure stated the vandalism left him without words and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the death of nine victims by a shooter aiming at people of foreign heritage in 2020.
