Commack
Suffolk County Hate Crimes Unit is investigating a rash of graffiti incidents at a handful of parks in the area - including Burr Winkle Park and Cedar Road Park - and while no gang activity is suspected, the offensive nature of some of the markings could lead to felony arrests.
In Cedar Road Park, two incidents in June - one on June 20, and other on June 28 - included swastikas and anti-black graffiti posted on multiple handball courts.
At Burr Winkle Park in mid-May, four swastikas were found written on playground equipment with permanent markers, and two more were found etched into the equipment. Sexually explicit comments were written on the grounds as well.
Patrols have been given instruction to keep an eye out in local parks since the incidents were reported. And surveillance has been periodically set up, though due to the nighttime nature of the incidents, no one has been able to be identified.
Police are offering a cash reward for any information leading to an arrest related to any of the incidents. Individuals can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
