Local Law Enforcement
Roughly 50 vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Automobiles, exterior walls and postal boxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a release.
Police state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a banned symbol, they added.
Law enforcement then located multiple other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the nearby vicinity.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report early analysis indicate the substance was probably human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no lead as to its origin; authorities are currently not aware of any physical harm in connection with the event," they added.
City officials said they were attempting "to solve the case" and have requested to the residents for information.
An important official said the vandalism made him speechless and required to be addressed quickly.
"This incident strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the right-wing violent incident five years ago," he wrote on a platform, recalling the murder of nine victims by a assailant targeting individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
