Teens sought for vandalizing LED screens at Rockaway subway station: NYPD



Cops are looking for a pair of teens who hurled rocks at electronic information screens at a Rockaway MTA subway station, damaging them, police said Friday.

The youths were on the elevated platform of the Beach 90th St.-Holland subway station near Rockaway Beach Blvd. at 5:45 p.m. on Oct. 3 when they were spotted throwing rocks at the LED screens.

The screens provide subway commuters with MTA maps, station alerts and updated travel information.

After damaging the screens, the two suspects, one with dyed blond hair, jumped onto a westbound Rockaway Park Shuttle train heading toward Beach-116th Street.

No arrests have been made.

Cops released the surveillance images in the hopes that someone recognizes them. If they’re captured, the pair will be facing criminal mischief charges, police said.

Anyone with information regarding their whereabouts is urged to call NYPD Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
