Local Law Enforcement
Around fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Cars, walls and postboxes were defaced, occasionally with swastikas, they stated in a statement.
Police say they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a individual observed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The liquid had been drawn in the shape of a banned symbol, they stated.
Officers then found many other marked cars and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.
Law enforcement say initial examinations indicate the substance was most likely human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no clue as to where it came from; officials are presently not informed of any physical harm in connection with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the residents for information.
An important representative said the vandalism made him speechless and required to be resolved rapidly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the right-wing attack in 2020," he stated on social media, mentioning the death of nine people by a assailant focusing on residents of immigrant origin in 2020.
