Stickers promoting a white supremacist group were founded throughout the center of a Kentucky town over the weekend.

Police in the town of Fort Thomas, Ky., said on Tuesday they were in the process of having public works employees remove the stickers that were put up by the group Patriot Front, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

At least a dozen stickers promoting the group were found on lampposts throughout the center of town by a resident, who notified the police and began attempting to remove the stickers himself.

"I was not expecting to see that," Bret Olson told the news outlet. "I tore it down."

At least a few of the stickers appear to feature an image of the United States with the message, “Not Stolen, Conquered.”

Fort Thomas Police Sgt. William Hunt said Tuesday that they hope it was an isolated incident but that they will be keeping an eye out to make sure it does not get repeated.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, a nonprofit group that tracks hate groups and extremists, identifies the Patriot Front as a white nationalist hate group that split from Vanguard America after the Unite the Right in Charlottesville, Va., in August 2017.

The Enquirer notes the stickers appeared shortly after Southern Ohio native Alex Fields was sentenced to life in prison for killing Heather Heyer when he drove his car through a crowd of counterprotesters in Charlottesville.
