Fairfield Police Investigating After 'White Lives Matter' Fliers Found

The messages were delivered to several homes and are similar to the ones recently found in Milford, East Haven and Westport.

Fairfield police are investigating after the latest fliers reading “White Lives Matter” were delivered to at least eight different homes in the Greenfield section of town Saturday afternoon.

Lt. James Perez said the fliers were wrapped in a plastic bag with small rocks in them, according to NBC Connecticut.

Fox CT reports that the messages are the same that have been found in Westport, East Haven and Milford over the past couple of weeks and began showing up during the Baltimore riots over the death of Freddie Gay while in police custody.
