Police are investigating antisemitic fliers that were left at homes in Beverly Hills on Sunday, hours before Chanukkah began.
The Beverly Hills Police Department revealed in a statement Sunday afternoon that it is investigating a “hate incident” that occurred overnight after a resident reported finding a flyer with hate speech in their front yard.
The flyer, which was in a plastic bag with rice “for weight,” featured “propaganda style hate speech related to the COVID pandemic and the Jewish people,” according to police. It was a single 8.5 inch-by-11 inch piece of paper.
The flyers, which were discovered at a number of homes in the northeast of the city, were canvassed and collected by police and Public Works personnel, according to police.
“Police are continuing to investigate and attempt to identify the persons responsible for this disturbing act,” the department wrote in a statement.
It also said additional patrols would be dispatched throughout the city on Sunday, the first night on Hanukkah, “to ensure a safe holiday season.”
