Area Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 vehicles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, building surfaces and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been applied in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then found multiple other marked automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state early analysis suggest the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; authorities are presently not aware of any injuries in relation with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were working "to resolve the case" and have appealed to the community for details.
A high-ranking political figure commented the attack left him stunned and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the death of nine people by a shooter focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in 2020.
