State College police sought help Friday to identify the person who they said plastered extremist stickers on public streetlights and traffic signal poles downtown.

The stickers, police wrote, were placed Tuesday morning.

Anyone with more information is asked to contact State College police at 814-234-7150, via email at police@statecollegepa.us or with an anonymous tip online.

It’s not the first time public property in State College has been defiled by extremism.

A hate group’s recruitment stickers were placed in more than 30 locations downtown in January 2021. A white nationalist hate group defaced the Martin Luther King Jr. mural three months later.

Police offered $3,000 for information that led to the conviction of the people responsible for marring the mural. No arrests have been made.
