WESTCHESTER COUNTY, New York (WABC) An investigation is underway in Westchester County after racist stickers were posted around public places in several towns.
Authorities say the stickers promoting white nationalist and white supremacist groups have been found in Scarsdale, Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow, White Plains, New Rochelle and Yorktown, and they are vowing to bring the perpetrators to justice. We strongly condemn these actions to the extent that they are intended to intimidate and cause fear in our communities, said a joint statement from Westchester County District Attorney Miriam Rocah and police commissioners and chiefs from the various municipalities.
They say the stickers were circulated in areas that have a large minority population, and while the act of placing of such stickers may not rise to the level of a crime, the Westchester DA is making clear that the matter is under investigation to put those supporting hate groups on notice.
