Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a release.
Police say they were notified during the night on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the form of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Law enforcement then located numerous other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the visible presentation of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials report initial examinations show the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to its origin; officials are not yet cognizant of any harm in relation with the event," they added.
Local authorities said they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have asked to the residents for tips.
A senior political figure commented the vandalism rendered him speechless and required to be addressed quickly.
"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the pain of the right-wing attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, mentioning the death of nine individuals by a shooter targeting people of foreign heritage in 2020.
