Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to police.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Officers state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Police then discovered numerous other marked cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests suggest the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to where it came from; authorities are presently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the incident," they added.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to resolve the case" and have requested to the public for information.
A senior official stated the vandalism left him speechless and had to be solved rapidly.
"This act affects the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the death of nine individuals by a shooter focusing on individuals of migrant background in 2020.
