Visitation Vandals Still on Loose
Bay Ridge — Police at the 68th Precinct are stepping up their search for the vandals who desecrated statues on the grounds of Visitation Academy, the Catholic girls school on Ridge Boulevard, during the overnight hours of March 21-22.
At press time, the vandals had not yet been caught.
Investigators believe the act of vandalism was likely committed by youths, not anti-Catholic zealots, according to a police source familiar with the probe.
“It was probably kids doing it on a dare. It was like, ‘Let’s go in there and knock over some statues!’ Obviously, it got out of hand,” the source said.
