SOUTH HAVEN, Mich. — The South Haven Police Department has launched an investigation into anti-Semitic fliers that were distributed in several neighborhoods overnight.
SHPD said officers responded to reports of the fliers and have identified a suspect through an investigation.
Officers said they made contact with the suspect, and while no formal charges have been filed yet, they're working closely with local prosecutors on the incident.
"The South Haven Police Department condemns in the strongest terms the distribution of anti-Semitic fliers found in our community," the department said in a release.
