KKK Flyers Distributed Around Hatboro, Upper Moreland Area

HATBORO, PA — Leaflets containing hateful messages were spread around several homes in the area over the weekend.

Police said numerous residents of Hatboro, Upper Moreland, and Upper Dublin found the leaflets in their driveways on Sunday morning.

The messages included information for a KKK national hotline and purported to come from an organization called the Loyal White Knights of the KKK, according to NBC Philadelphia.

The leaflets were distributed in the middle of the night, police said.

"Hatboro is a community where we respect each other and we are better than hatred," the borough said in an official statement.

An investigation is ongoing.
