Breezy Point police are looking for some people who now have cream-colored paint on their clothes and body and most likely on their vehicles.
Sometime Sunday night, some not-so-careful painters found a backpack sprayer and went to work spraying a few gallons of cream-colored paint on several mailboxes at Suffolk and Dove streets in Breezy Point and on the street. Police are asking anyone with information to contact the police department at 562-4488.
Messing with mailboxes is a federal offense.
Sgt. Kevin Merschman said, "Breezy Point has a lot of kids and we don't have that many problems. But parents need to contact us if they find cream-colored paint on a kid's clothes."
Sometime Saturday night, some climbers scaled Breezy Point City Hall and placed stolen real estate signs on the roof. They also carefully located a bicycle and a large highway type can on the roof. The crowning touch was a chalked smiling face.
Police Chief Steve Rudek said this latest bit of climbing city hall has now moved from the back burner to the front burner. The individuals involved will be apprehended, he said.
"My biggest fear is that someone's going to get hurt falling off the roof," Rudek said. "This is not a harmless prank; someone could have fallen off the roof. The city maintenance staff had to take it all down and it was not an easy task."
