Both the police chief and mayor have indicated literature from a white supremacist group from the Boston area that has surfaced in the Northeast school neighborhood is under investigationg.

“I was informed by our Department of Public Works employees and the Police Department of the literature drops,” Mayor Jeffrey Caggiano wrote in an email in response to an inquiry by TBE.

“There is no room for hatred or divisiveness in our city and we continue to identify those that are responsible,” he concluded.

In a separate email response, Police Chief Brian Gould wrote, “The Bristol Police Department is aware and is currently investigating this incident.”

Flyers from the group, The New England Nationalist Social Club, were found on driveways in the Northeast area yesterday.

The group identifies themselves, in the flyers, as “a pro-white, street-oriented fraternity dedicated to raising authentic resistance to the enemies of our people in the New England area. This takes the form of networking, training, activism, outreach, and above all action.”
