Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty cars have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Officers report they were alerted late on Wednesday night, when a man noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued substance.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Officers then located numerous other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Officials report initial examinations suggest the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; investigators are not yet aware of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to unravel the mystery" and have requested to the community for details.
A senior political figure stated the incident rendered him speechless and required to be solved rapidly.
"This act hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the death of nine people by a assailant aiming at people of migrant background in February 2020.
