Packages with anti-Semitic messages found throughout New Jersey counties, police say

BYRAM TOWNSHIP, NJ (Sussex County) – Byram Township police say they have been made aware of a rash of anti-Semitic rhetoric on flyers that have been distributed throughout numerous New Jersey counties.

The flyers are generally in a plastic baggie with rice or corn kernels, and possibly rat poison, police said.

“Although the flyers are technically First Amendment protected, the FBI has taken the lead as the flyers have been spotted in other parts of the country,” police said in a Facebook post.

Police ask that people be alert of any sightings, and to have your local police department document and remove any of those materials, police said.
