President Trump supporters in two small New England towns have gotten menacing letters threatening to burn down their homes.
Police in Milford, New Hampshire, said they’re working to track down the culprits who mailed the letters to several Trump supporters in the small town, while cops in nearby Brookline reported that at least two residents there have also gotten the threatening correspondence, WMUR-TV reported.
“I was kind of quite shocked that anyone would send a letter out with that type of threat,” Brookline Police Chief Bill Quigley told the outlet.
“Dear neighbors,” the letters read. “You have been identified by our group as being a Trump supporter.”
“Your address has been added into our database as a target for when we attack should Trump not concede the election,” it goes on. “We recommend that you check your home insurance policy and make that it is current and that it has adequate coverage for fire damage.”
Police said they’ve reported the threats to the US Postal Service, but have yet to identify those responsible for them.

You’re not supposed to threaten my home. I’m very worried in the sense that this is going on in my town.”
