Lexington police are asking the public for help in identifying any individuals responsible for leaving Aryan Freedom Network flyers in one neighborhood.

Some residents of the Kenwick neighborhood woke up to find baggies on their sidewalk that had white supremacy propaganda flyers inside with rice.

The flyer reads: You know who else was condemned for hate speech? Jesus Christ The flyer also advertises the Aryan Freedom Network and a website.

A post was shared on the Kenwick Neighborhood Association Facebook page asking for anyone to report the baggies to police, and check home security footage to identify possible suspects.

What we are interested in is who possibly left those flyers that is what we are very interested in identifying, said Lt. Dan Truex with the Lexington Police Department.

Truex confirmed the department had received multiple reports of Kenwick residents finding the baggies outside of their homes and some baggies were booked into evidence. He said no other neighborhood residents had reported finding the baggies.

He asked for anyone with surveillance footage that could identify a suspect to call police.

Truex told members of the neighborhood that extra patrol will be out for all three shifts for the next two weeks to increase police presence.

Hopefully this helps deter it from happening in the future, Truex wrote on social media.

Truex was not able to share what charges a suspect could face for the flyers, citing an open investigation.
