Santa Cruz Sentinel: Pamphlets targeting UCSC researchers found at coffee shop

SANTA CRUZ – Threatening pamphlets publishing the personal information of UC Santa Cruz biomedical researchers were found at a downtown coffee shop late Tuesday night, police disclosed Wednesday.

Police spokesman Zach Friend said a customer at Caffe Pergolesi, 418 Cedar St., gave police the stack of about a dozen pamphlets, saying the papers had been left by an unknown person. The flyers, which police are investigating as threats of a possible attack following a string of incidents this winter, target scientists who use mice, fruit flies and other animals in their work.
