Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were marked, sometimes with swastikas, they announced in a release. Police report they were notified late on Wednesday, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored fluid. The substance had been placed in the form of a swastika, they added. Officers then located multiple other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area. Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols. Officials say early analysis suggest the fluid was likely human bodily fluid. "There is still no indication as to where it came from; authorities are presently not aware of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they commented. Municipal representatives announced they were working "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the public for information. A senior political figure said the incident left him speechless and had to be solved promptly. "This incident hits the very heart of Hanau and reopens the pain of the extremist attack five years ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the killing of nine individuals by a shooter aiming at individuals of immigrant origin in 2020.
