Officers reported they were notified by a individual who found a automobile in Hanau covered with reddish substance

Roughly fifty automobiles have been smeared with what seems to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to authorities.

Automobiles, building surfaces and postboxes were vandalized, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they reported in a official communication.

Law enforcement report they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.

The substance had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they stated.

Law enforcement then found many other smeared automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.

These symbols are banned in Germany under legislation banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.

Officials say preliminary tests show the substance was likely human bodily fluid.

"There is still no indication as to where it came from; officials are presently not cognizant of any physical harm in connection with the event," they added.

City officials stated they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have appealed to the community for tips.

An important representative commented the vandalism rendered him without words and had to be solved quickly.

"This event strikes at the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he stated on social media, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a gunman targeting individuals of immigrant origin in 2020.
