Ku Klux Klan Fliers Found Across Loudoun: Police

LEESBURG, VA — Police in Loudoun County are investigating the origins of Ku Klux Klan (KKK) recruitment fliers found by residents over the weekend. The fliers were found in Leesburg, Paeonian Springs and Lovettsville, the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office said.

All of the fliers were found in plastic bags containing birdseed, the LCSO said, "and there is no indication any of the households who received the fliers were targeted."

On Saturday evening, the Leesburg police responded to several reports of KKK material found in driveways. And on Sunday morning, residents called the sheriff's office to report that propaganda fliers from the white supremacist group, two containing a CD, were found in driveways in the 39000 block of Catoctin Ridge Street in Paeonian Springs.

Later on Sunday morning, residents in Lovettsville reported to the sheriff's office that they found KKK propaganda fliers on several streets in the New Town Meadows community. The fliers were left along driveways, near mailboxes and on sidewalks.

Anyone with information regarding these cases, or with possible surveillance video, are asked to contact Detective Joseph Hacay at 703-777-0475.
