Multiple Nassau County Red Light Cameras Vandalized

By Lindsay Christ on Aug 20th, 2010

 

Fourteen cameras that were installed to catch cars running red lights were spray painted in Nassau County, the Associated Press reported.

Police are looking for whoever spray painted the cameras at five intersections on August 1 between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. The intersections that were vandalized were in Carle Place, East Garden City, East Meadow and Westbury.

The cameras were installed almost a year ago and are projected to generate more than $13 million for Nassau County this year. They sit on poles as high as 16 feet at multiple intersections.

The tapes from the cameras are in the process of being reviewed and investigated by authorities. They were put back into service within a day.
