Antisemitic Fliers Spark Investigation By Nassau Police

NASSAU COUNTY — Police are investigating after antisemitic fliers were found on the lawns of multiple homes in Rockville Centre and Oceanside recently.

According to police, on the morning of July 21, multiple residents of the two communities reported finding clear plastic bags on their property which contained multiple antisemitic fliers. The bags were found on the front lawns of the homes.

Police believe that a white 2009 or 2010 Toyota Prius may be involved in the distribution of the fliers. It was seen in the area where fliers were found.

Police ask anyone who has information on the vehicle or the distribution of the fliers to call Nassau County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS, or call 911. All callers will remain anonymous.

After the fliers were first found in Rockville Centre, local leaders gathered to decry the spread of the hateful literature.

"The Jewish community on Long Island will not be intimidated by these vile flyers left by the so-called Goyim Defense League. Hate will never win here," Eric Post, director of the American Jewish Committee Long Island regional office, said in a statement.
