'Hate Literature' Found In Delco Town: Officials

SWARTHMORE, PA — Local officials said "hate literature" was spread across a Delaware County town and police are looking into the distribution.

According to Ridley Township Police, overnight Sunday flyers were disseminated around the township's Swarthmore section.

"Stand up white man," one of the lines reads.

One section showing a URL reads "Black-Hate-Broadcast," and another reads "WhiteLivesMatterOfficial."

Police are asking for help from the public in identifying whoever spread the materials.

Anyone with information or video surveillance depicting the person or people who disseminated the materials is asked to contact the Ridley Township Police Department at 610-532-4000.

State Reps. Leanne Krueger and David Delloso, both D-Delaware urged residents in the area to report any information on white supremacist literature being spread throughout the community:

"We were appalled to learn that literature containing white supremacist language and insignia was distributed in some neighborhoods of Ridley Township over the weekend," Kreuger and Delloso said in a joint statement. "Any and all efforts to spread hate, incite violence or intimidate historically marginalized groups are unacceptable in ours or in any community."

The Delaware County District Attorney's office is working with Ridley Police on the investigation.
