NEW YORK — At least 11 police vehicles were vandalized outside the NYPD’s 116th Precinct in Laurelton, WABC reported.
The Nov. 10 incident occurred around 11:30 p.m. near North Conduit Avenue and 244th Street, according to the report. Both marked and unmarked vehicles sustained damage, including shattered windshields, broken mirrors and smashed windows. Investigators believe rocks or similar objects were used.

The attack happened in front of the recently opened precinct building, which includes a community center. Multiple surveillance cameras are positioned around the property.
“Hopefully they figure out who did it so it doesn’t happen again, because if they feel comfortable enough to vandalize the cars, who is to say they won’t vandalize the precinct next,” community member Carlyns Regis told WABC.
No arrests have been made. The investigation remains ongoing.
