Cops hunt Bay Ridge Menorah vandals
Heartless vandals deliberately destroyed a Hanukkah Menorah that a religious organization had placed outside a Bay Ridge park, but the victims showed that they weren’t about to let crooks ruin their holiday. They quickly replaced the Menorah with another one.
Police are looking for the vandals who broke an eight-foot-wide Menorah that members of Chabad of Bay Ridge erected on the corner of Seventh Avenue and 65th Street outside Leif Erickson Park. The vandalism was discovered during the early morning hours of Dec. 10, according to a New York Police Department spokesman. The crime took place at some point between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. on Dec. 10, the spokesman said.
“Upon arrival, officers discovered that an unidentified perpetrator had sometime between the hours of 0200 and 0600, intentionally damaged a Menorah that had been placed at the location. The Menorah was knocked down and broken apart,” the NYPD spokesman told the Brooklyn Eagle via email.
