Cops: Teen charged with making graffiti in Greenlawn
A teenager was arrested Tuesday in connection with graffiti found scrawled in Greenlawn, including a swastika on a tree, Suffolk police said.
The tree with the anti-Semitic symbol and other graffiti, as well as profanity on at least one street sign were spotted at Grafton Street and Taylor Avenue, police said.
A teenager, 17, was charged with making graffiti, including the profane words, but not for the swastika, police said. Police declined to release the suspect's name, citing the ongoing investigation.
