Local Police
Roughly fifty vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.
Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.
Police state they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The substance had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they added.
Police then discovered numerous other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.
Officials say early analysis suggest the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to its origin; investigators are currently not aware of any injuries in relation with the event," they added.
Local authorities stated they were attempting "to solve the case" and have asked to the community for tips.
A high-ranking political figure said the vandalism rendered him speechless and required to be solved rapidly.
"This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he stated on online, recalling the death of nine people by a shooter targeting people of immigrant origin in 2020.
