Local Police
Approximately fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, walls and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers report they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then found multiple other marked cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report preliminary tests indicate the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to where it came from; investigators are currently not cognizant of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials said they were working "to resolve the case" and have requested to the public for tips.
A senior political figure commented the incident rendered him speechless and required to be solved promptly.
"This event hits the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he stated on social media, referring to the killing of nine victims by a gunman focusing on residents of migrant background in 2020.
