Police investigate random delivery of KKK newspapers in Massachusetts town

The Raynham Police Department is investigating after 10 houses on Sherwood Lane received copies of The Crusader—the official newspaper of the Klu Klux Klan.

Police said in a statement that they received a report about the random delivery at approximately 10 a.m. Monday. They have consulted with the Bristol County District Attorney’s office, the Anti-Defamation League, and Massachusetts State Police.

Distributing the papers is not considered a hate crime or illegal activity unless a specific party is targeted, officials said. However, Raynham Police Chief James Donovan said, “We condemn this kind of speech and the hateful ideology behind it.”

Those who have questions or concerns are encouraged to contact the Raynham Police Department.
