NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating two antisemitic graffiti incidents that were reported in Queens on Tuesday, authorities said.
On Monday, March 20, at 9:21 p.m., two swastikas were found on the sidewalk and street outside of a junior high school located on 102nd Street in Rego Park, officials said.
A swastika was also graffitied on the sidewalk outside of a building at 110-11 Queens Blvd. in Forest Hills, the NYPD said.
Queens lawmakers issued a joint statement against the antisemitic incidents.
"Our local leaders and fellow neighbors will never become complacent in the face of such vile acts of hate," the lawmakers said in the statement. "We remain strong in supporting one another, and condemn these acts of antisemitism and cowardice for what they are. Thank you to the NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force for investigating, and our officers at the 112th Precinct for keeping us apprised. We remain confident that the perpetrators will be found and prosecuted, as they have been time and again."
There have been no arrests made and an investigation remains ongoing.
