Area Police
Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Cars, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Officers report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been applied in the form of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then located many other marked automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Police state preliminary tests show the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; officials are presently not cognizant of any harm in connection with the incident," they commented.
Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking political figure commented the incident rendered him without words and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This incident hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he wrote on social media, recalling the murder of nine people by a gunman aiming at residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
