Area Police
Roughly fifty vehicles have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, walls and postal boxes were defaced, sometimes with prohibited symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Officers state they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish substance.
The substance had been placed in the form of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then found numerous other smeared cars and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Police report preliminary tests suggest the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"Currently there is no indication as to its source; officials are not yet cognizant of any harm in association with the event," they added.
Local authorities announced they were working "to resolve the case" and have asked to the community for information.
A high-ranking official stated the attack left him speechless and required to be resolved quickly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he posted on social media, mentioning the death of nine people by a assailant aiming at individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
