Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty vehicles have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Law enforcement report they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a resident noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Law enforcement then found multiple other vandalized cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation banning the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement state initial examinations indicate the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to where it came from; officials are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the occurrence," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were working "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the residents for tips.
A senior representative commented the attack left him speechless and had to be addressed quickly.
"This act hits the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist attack in 2020," he wrote on a platform, recalling the murder of nine victims by a gunman aiming at people of immigrant origin in five years prior.
