EVESHAM TWP., New Jersey (WPVI) -- Police in Evesham Township, Burlington County are searching for a man caught on video leaving anti-Semitic fliers on parked cars.

Responding officers searched the area and were unable to locate the man.

Officers removed approximately 75 anti-Semitic fliers from vehicles.
