Roughly 50 automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with swastikas, they reported in a release.
Police report they were alerted during the night on Wednesday night, when a resident noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued substance.
The substance had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then discovered multiple other smeared vehicles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation banning the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state preliminary tests indicate the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to its source; authorities are not yet informed of any physical harm in association with the incident," they commented.
City officials stated they were attempting "to solve the mystery" and have asked to the public for details.
An important political figure said the vandalism rendered him speechless and needed to be resolved rapidly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing attack in 2020," he posted on social media, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a assailant targeting residents of migrant background in 2020.
