Area Police
Around 50 cars have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Officers state they were notified during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The substance had been drawn in the pattern of a swastika, they added.
Officers then discovered multiple other marked cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials state preliminary tests indicate the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to its source; investigators are presently not aware of any harm in connection with the event," they stated.
City officials announced they were trying "to solve the case" and have asked to the residents for tips.
A high-ranking representative commented the attack made him without words and required to be resolved quickly.
"This act affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he posted on social media, recalling the death of nine victims by a shooter targeting individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
