Edgewater and New Smyrna Beach, FL – White supremacists once again decided to target Volusia County with hate literature, this time in the cities of Edgewater and New Smyrna Beach, police said.
Edgewater police got reports of the anti-Jewish literature around 3:15 p.m. on Monday, according to an incident report.
Officers responded to the 2900 block of Sabal Palm Drive where several neighbors had found Ziploc bags with pellets in them and folded-up pieces of paper that contained the anti-Jewish pamphlets.
Neighbors reported seeing a black sedan involved, and another caller told police the flyers were thrown from a blue truck. The vehicles had no other identifying information, police said.
In New Smyrna Beach, police were first alerted about the hate flyers just after 9 p.m. Monday.
Police were called to a neighborhood near State Road 44 and Interstate 95 where they found a flyer inside a plastic bag with a “yet-to-be-identified substance,” police said.
New Smyrna Beach residents who got the flyers said the packages were thrown by a white man riding in a black car. New Smyrna Beach Police detectives are reviewing video and processing evidence while currently working on identifying and locating the suspect, police said.
