BRISTOL, R.I. (AP) — Police in Bristol, Rhode Island said Tuesday they are investigating the discovery of several Nazi-themed stickers in town and have asked the civil rights unit of the Rhode Island Attorney General’s Office to review the case as a possible hate crime.
The investigation started Saturday when someone reported finding a sticker with an image of Adolf Hitler and the words “white boy summer" on a window at the town library, police said in a statement.
The person removed the sticker, and gave it to the police.
Later on the same day, someone else reported an identical sticker on a mailbox outside of the post office, according to police.
