Area Law Enforcement
Around fifty cars have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, walls and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Officers report they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they stated.
Police then discovered multiple other marked vehicles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement report initial examinations indicate the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no lead as to its source; officials are not yet aware of any harm in association with the occurrence," they added.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the community for information.
An important representative said the attack made him stunned and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing terrorist attack five years ago," he wrote on social media, mentioning the killing of nine victims by a assailant targeting people of immigrant origin in February 2020.
