DERRY, N.H. (AP) – Police are getting complaints about a white supremacist group distributing hate literature in Derry and Londonderry.
The Arkansas-based White Revolution is formatting its messages as trick or treat tips this year, authorities said.
The literature claims children are at higher risk in nonwhite neighborhoods. Some of the materials solicit new members.
Authorities said the group may have distributed literature in other New Hampshire and northeastern Massachusetts towns this year.
Similar literature also was distributed in Derry a few years ago, Derry Police Capt. Vernon Thomas said.

Gas Scam

DANVILLE, N.H. (AP) – Police are warning residents about a possible scam involving vouchers for free gasoline.
Someone calls a home and offers the vouchers, but says a shipping fee is required to get them. The caller then asks for bank account information.
Danville Police Chief Wade Parsons said scammers find the tactic attractive because gas prices are high.
He said a company in California could be responsible. It goes by several names, including Buyers Union, Call One, One Call Communications, Premier Movie Pass and Wholesale Club Rebate Program.
Several complaints against the organization have been filed with a Better Business Bureau office in California, Parsons said.
