Cops seek help in probe of Sweet Hollow Hall arson
Suffolk County Crime Stoppers and arson detectives are seeking information on a fire that police say was intentionally set and that "completely destroyed" Sweet Hollow Hall in Huntington last week.
The fire, set Dec. 10 at about 1:25 a.m., destroyed the West Hills County Park building which was used as a meeting hall and for community events, Suffolk County police said.
In addition to serving as headquarters for the Senior Pops Orchestra of Long Island, the space was also used by church groups and an environmental nonprofit that conducted nature classes, said a spokeswoman for the Suffolk Parks Department.
