Nazi Groups, KKK Leave Flyers In Metro Atlanta Mailboxes

CUMMING, GA — Several communities across metro Atlanta are worried and upset after flyers and pamphlets were left in their mailboxes advertising joining hate groups or pushing for "whites only" neighborhoods.

The Forsyth County Sheriff's Office was notified Tuesday afternoon from a resident in the Hilltop subdivision about an American Nazi pamphlet placed in their mailbox.

Deputies are investigating and attempting to locate the people or group distributing the pamphlets.

"We are working with our federal partners to determine if anything criminal has occurred," the department posted on Facebook. "We are aware that flyers are almost always constitutionally protected speech, however placing them inside of mailboxes is a violation."

Any information about the incident can be directed to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office at 770-781-2222.

Forsyth County residents weren't the only ones who received these types of flyers in the mail.

Dozens of neighbors in the Abernathy Farm subdivision in Acworth reported a similar letter sent through the mail with no return address, Fox5 reported.

The letter states: "We want this neighborhood just for white people. Out Hispanics. Out Blacks. Out Asians."

One neighbor, Paula Cadavid, told the TV station that "as a Hispanic mom, I feel threatened in my neighborhood."

"They centered it, they printed labels, they purchased stamps," Cadavid said. "It was done so meticulously it shows the person did it with complete consciousness of what they were doing."

Acworth Police Capt. Mark Cheatham told the station Tuesday that his department is "working with other jurisdictions including the postal inspector to find out as much information about these letters that were sent."

Police are collecting the letters to be processed for trace evidence, and investigators are still looking into the incident.
