Area Police
Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Law enforcement say they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then found multiple other vandalized cars and residential walls in the surrounding area.
These symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report preliminary tests indicate the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its origin; authorities are currently not informed of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were working "to unravel the mystery" and have asked to the public for tips.
A senior official stated the incident made him speechless and had to be solved promptly.
"This event strikes at the very heart of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing terrorist attack in 2020," he stated on social media, recalling the murder of nine victims by a shooter targeting individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
