Area Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a statement.
Police report they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other smeared cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are banned in Germany under regulations banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests indicate the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no clue as to where it came from; authorities are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the event," they commented.
City officials stated they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the residents for tips.
A senior official commented the vandalism left him stunned and had to be solved quickly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the far-right violent incident in 2020," he wrote on social media, mentioning the murder of nine people by a gunman aiming at individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
