Local Law Enforcement

Approximately 50 cars have been covered with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.

Cars, walls and mailboxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they announced in a release.

Law enforcement say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a individual noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored liquid.

The substance had been drawn in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they reported.

Officers then found multiple other marked cars and house walls in the surrounding area.

These symbols are banned in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of Nazi symbols.

Police say early analysis show the substance was likely human bodily fluid.

"There is still no indication as to its source; investigators are currently not informed of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they stated.

Municipal representatives announced they were working "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the public for information.

A senior official stated the attack made him speechless and needed to be solved promptly.

"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the far-right attack half a decade ago," he posted on online, recalling the death of nine people by a shooter focusing on individuals of migrant background in February 2020.
