Police Seeking Person Leaving 'White Supremacy' Packages Around UCSC, Santa Cruz

SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, CA – Police are looking for someone who left packages referring to white supremacy at the University of California at Santa Cruz earlier this week.

The "bias-motivated" packages have been left at multiple places on the campus with a CD and note that refers to the "white power movement" and a website that has been linked with white supremacists, police Chief Nadar Oweis said Thursday in a message to the campus community.

The parcels were found Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning, while similar packages have also been found in the city of Santa Cruz, Oweis said.

Police are looking for a person of interest described as a white man seen in black clothing and orange-framed sunglasses leaving the packages near the university's Merrill College, according to Oweis.

Anyone with information on the person's identity or anyone who finds such a package is asked to call the school's police department at (831) 459-2231, ext. 1.
