PETALUMA, CA — Pamphlets with an antisemitic message have been distributed in an East Petaluma neighborhood, police said Saturday.
The papers appeared to have been distributed in residential driveways sometime during the overnight hours, police said.
"The materials appear to target the Jewish community but, at this time, do not reference or threaten any specific individuals, locations, or organizations," police said on social media.
Officers canvassed the neighborhood hoping to locate video surveillance footage or witnesses, the department said.
"At this stage of the investigation, the Police Department is treating this as a hate-related incident," the department said.
Anyone with information related to the incident is asked to contact the Petaluma Police Department at 707-778-4372.
