MILFORD, N.H. —

Milford police are trying to track down whoever is behind a series of letters that were sent to supporters of President Donald Trump threatening to burn down their homes.

Kelly, a Milford resident who asked to be identified only by her first name, said she received one of the letters.

"Dear neighbor," the letter read. "You have been identified by our group as being a Trump supporter. Your address has been added to our database as a target when we attack should Trump not concede the election."

The anonymous author went on to say Kelly should hope her home insurance has fire coverage.

"I was very taken aback," Kelly said.

Milford police said the same letter was mailed to other homes that have signs supporting Trump's presidential campaign. The department is now investigating and has contacted the state Attorney General's Office.

"This is my home," Kelly said. "You're not supposed to threaten my home. I'm very worried in the sense that this is going on in my town."

Two people in Brookline have also received a letter.

"I was kind of quite shocked that anyone would send a letter out with that type of threat," said Brookline police Chief Bill Quigley.

Quigley said he alerted the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and said whoever is behind the letters could face serious charges.

"Not only with us, with criminal threatening," Quigley said. "It's on a felony level, because of the threat of burning homes down and causing injury, but it could also be with the postal inspectors, something on the federal level."

Kelly said she wanted to share her story to encourage others who received the letter to come forward and contact their local authorities.
