Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty vehicles have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm law enforcement.
Automobiles, walls and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they stated in a official communication.
Officers state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The substance had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Officers then discovered multiple other vandalized cars and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws outlawing the public exhibition of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement state early analysis indicate the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to its origin; investigators are presently not informed of any injuries in relation with the event," they added.
Municipal representatives announced they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the residents for information.
An important political figure commented the attack left him without words and had to be solved promptly.
"This act strikes at the core of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he wrote on social media, mentioning the killing of nine people by a gunman targeting people of immigrant origin in 2020.
