Area Police
Around fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.
Vehicles, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they announced in a statement.
Officers say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday night, when a individual observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.
The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Officers then found multiple other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Officials report initial examinations suggest the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to where it came from; investigators are currently not cognizant of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.
City officials stated they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the community for details.
A senior political figure said the attack rendered him speechless and needed to be solved rapidly.
"This act affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist attack half a decade ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the murder of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at residents of foreign heritage in 2020.
