BLUE ENVELOPES A HOAX
City police have been inundated with calls today regarding blue envelopes from the Klingerman Foundation.

Police suggest that as a result of recent world events, unknown persons may be trying to raise the fear of citizens for their own causes and may be using this type of tactic to do so.
