PLAINVIEW, Nassau County (WABC) -- Nassau County police say members of the so-called "Goyim Defense League" stuffed antisemitic flyers into mailboxes of a Long Island neighborhood.

It happened in Plainview, where authorities say flyers distributed across the neighborhood featured images of federal lawmakers with the Star of David drawn on their heads.

These flyers also featured a QR code for a website with racist, antisemitic and anti-LGBTQ posts.

Nassau County legislators are calling for the public's assistance in tracking down those responsible.
