Local Police
Approximately 50 automobiles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they reported in a official communication.
Police state they were contacted late on Wednesday night, when a man noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been applied in the form of a banned symbol, they reported.
Officers then found many other vandalized vehicles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Police say preliminary tests indicate the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its source; authorities are not yet aware of any physical harm in association with the event," they added.
City officials announced they were working "to unravel the case" and have asked to the residents for information.
A high-ranking political figure said the attack made him stunned and had to be addressed promptly.
"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing violent incident in 2020," he stated on social media, referring to the killing of nine people by a assailant aiming at people of foreign heritage in 2020.
