BELCHERTOWN - Police are investigating complaints that copies of a white supremacist newspaper known as The Crusader have been left in some residential mailboxes.

"The papers were placed over the weekend in mailboxes and some residents were concerned and offended by the nature of the newspaper," police stated in a release.

Detective John Raymer is investigating.

The Crusader, according to NBC News, is a quarterly journal that bills itself as "The Premier Voice of the White Resistance."

In November, residents of Milford, Massachusetts reported finding unsolicited copies of the newspaper in their mailboxes. Copies were also mailed to the Milford Police Department and to the home of Milford Police Chief Tom O'Loughlin.

This is a developing story. Additional information will be posted as soon as it is available.
