Racist, antisemitic flyers distributed in Noord-Holland prompt police probe
Several residents in Noord-Holland have received envelopes containing racist and antisemitic flyers, leading police to open an investigation into the incident, NH reports.
The flyers were reportedly distributed in Heerhugowaard and the surrounding area near Hoorn, but authorities cannot yet specify the exact locations. A police spokesperson said, “We are investigating the origin of the letters. That is why we are looking for an unopened copy.”
The envelopes are A5-sized and reportedly bear distinctive markings. Although the racist and antisemitic content is not visible from the outside, the flyer’s envelope prominently displays “to the residents of” in large letters at its center.
Another unusual feature is the placement of the postage stamp, which is centered rather than in the top right corner. The police have chosen not to share images of the flyer to avoid further spreading its hateful message.
Police urge residents who have received such an envelope and have not yet opened it to contact them at 0900-8844. Investigators hope unopened envelopes will provide forensic evidence to help identify those responsible for distributing the flyers.
