Cherry Hill Courier-Post

CHERRY HILL - Police are investigating racist propaganda left at homes here overnight.

Residents in the Old Orchard section of the township told police the printed materials were found in their driveways Saturday morning.

Cherry Hill police provided media with images of two pages reportedly left at homes. One paper refers to crime statistics purportedly associated with African Americans and provides a web address and phone number for a Ku Klux Klan chapter in North Carolina.

Another paper includes a crude cartoon of a courtroom proceeding that invokes racist caricatures of African Americans and Jews. It also refers to the North Carolina KKK chapter.

The disturbing images are included at the end of this story. Please note that they include racist, hateful language and propaganda.

“This type of hatred and bigotry will not be tolerated in our town," Mayor Chuck Cahn said in a news released issued Saturday morning by the Cherry Hill Township Police Department. "We will investigate this matter until we identify the individuals responsible and will prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law."

Reports of the disturbing incident were shared on several South Jersey community Facebook pages Saturday morning.

At least one resident in Mount Laurel had posted about receiving the literature there, too.

Cherry Hill police are investigating the incidents and urge anybody with information about it to call the department at 856-488-7828 or submit a tip anonymously at tips@cherryhillpolice.com.
