Rye Police Continue Investigation into Anti-Semitic Vandalism at RHS

More that a week after Rye High School was vandalized, Rye police continue the investigation.

No witnesses have come forward and police have no suspects in their investigation of the vandalism that is believed to have occurred at Rye High School on the night of Jan. 21, Police Commissioner William Connors said Wednesday.

The investigation remains open and the Rye police are working closely with Harrison police department, Connors said. He added that Rye police have also conferred with the district attorney’s office and sent the information countywide in case there have been any similar incidents. He has not heard of any similar incidents that have occurred recently in Westchester County.

On Tuesday, Jan. 22 a school employee called police around 7 a.m. when he arrived at work and found what appeared to be swastikas drawn onto three school-owned vehicles, several broken windows and a broken door.

In the police report of the incident, the officer reported that the school employee noted the rivalry between Harrison and Rye school districts. On Wednesday, Connors said there is no evidence that the incident is related to the rivalry.

Let's look at the appropriateness of this post. First, it's clearly an ad because it points to aRead More specific insurance agent at a specific agency to contact. Second, it attempts to hide being an ad behind what may be useful information (or not). Third, the "person" who posted it doesn't use their real name. Instead, they use a pseudonym Divorce Information NOW. That doesn’t seem terribly reassuring to me. This the third advertising post on the “announcements” space since Rye Patch converted to the new site layout. Seems a bit of a mess to me. But hopefully someone will come along and figure out who the real poster is, their link to the advertised agent and agency, and then delete the post. After all, if it’s an ad, it should be labeled as such and the poster should pay for having it run. If that doesn’t happen, Patch won’t be able to pay its employees to keep real content on the site.
