Area Police
Approximately 50 vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Police report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a reddish-hued liquid.
The substance had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then found multiple other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.
Officials say preliminary tests suggest the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no lead as to its origin; investigators are presently not aware of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they commented.
Local authorities said they were working "to resolve the case" and have asked to the residents for information.
A senior official stated the attack left him stunned and required to be addressed promptly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right attack five years ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the killing of nine victims by a gunman aiming at people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
