The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is now searching for two vandals who scrawled a swastika on the front of the Elmhurst Educational Campus just south of the Long Island Rail Road tracks back in September.

Police from the 110th Precinct in Elmhurst reported that on the night of Friday, Sept. 20, two unidentified men drew the swastika on the front of 45-20 94th Street at around 9 p.m. The campus was created in an abandoned former manufacturing warehouse that was converted and is now home to four high schools serving over 1,600 students, including a District 75 special needs school.
