Police investigators in Westchester have released a new video of a suspect who is wanted after a “Black Lives Matter” sign was uprooted in May.

D’Alessio said that the department is working with the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office to identify whoever is responsible for the incident.
“The town of Greenburgh and this department strongly condemns all acts of hate and bias. We have a history of promoting diversity, unity, and inclusion,” the department said in a statement.
