Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty cars have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Officers state they were notified late on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid.
The substance had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Law enforcement then discovered numerous other marked vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement state initial examinations suggest the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its source; officials are not yet informed of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they added.
Local authorities said they were working "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the public for details.
A senior official stated the vandalism rendered him stunned and had to be addressed promptly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the far-right attack in 2020," he stated on a platform, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
