Local Law Enforcement
Around 50 cars have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.
Police state they were notified late on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then found numerous other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say preliminary tests show the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; authorities are presently not informed of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they stated.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to resolve the incident" and have appealed to the community for details.
A senior representative commented the vandalism rendered him without words and had to be resolved rapidly.
"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and revives the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on online, recalling the death of nine people by a assailant focusing on residents of migrant background in 2020.
