Residents in several Frankfort neighborhoods woke up Wednesday morning to discover white supremacist propaganda had been distributed throughout their community overnight.

The Frankfort Police Department is calling the incident an "appalling act of littering" and is asking anyone with doorbell camera or security footage to come forward.

"The Frankfort Police Department does not tolerate hate in any form," officials said in a statement released Wednesday. "This behavior goes against the values of our community, and the Frankfort Police Department is taking this matter very seriously."

Police are particularly interested in reviewing footage from residents in affected areas who may have captured video of individuals distributing the materials. Anyone with relevant security camera footage is urged to contact the department's non-emergency line at 502-875-8582.

Investigators hope the footage could help them identify those responsible for what they're describing as a "hateful act."

The police department emphasized its ongoing commitment to maintaining a safe environment for all residents. "The Frankfort Police Department remains committed to the safety of the Frankfort community and continues to support a thriving and diverse community," the statement concluded.

Anyone with information about the incident is encouraged to contact authorities.
