Beverly Hills police are investigating the overnight disbursement of about 25 flyers in the north end of the city that blame gun control on Jewish people, authorities said.
The flyers were left in an area north of Sunset Boulevard and west of Benedict Canyon Drive, according to Sgt. Scott Dibble of the Beverly Hills Police Department.
Dibble said the disbursement posed no "significant threat'' and called the effort "very minimal.''

The report comes one day after seven activists with the anti-Jewish group Goyim Defense League draped signs on an overpass of the San Diego (405) Freeway in Los Angeles that read, "Kanye is right about the Jews'' and "Honk if you know.''
Several of the activists were photographed making "heil Hitler'' salutes on the overpass on Saturday. The sign is a reference to recent antisemitic statements made by rapper Ye -- also known as Kanye West.
"Outrageous effort to fan the flames of antisemitism gripping the nation. This group is known for espousing vitriolic #antisemitism and white supremacist ideology. Hate has no place in Los Angeles or elsewhere and these attempts will not divide us,'' the Anti-Defamation League of Southern California tweeted Sunday.
It was unclear if the same group was responsible for the flyers in Beverly Hills. No contact information for the Goyim Defense League could be found.
