RYE, NY — Westchester County Police are seeking the public’s help in identifying three people who entered the Playland amusement park in the overnight hours of Sept. 23-24 and committed acts of theft and vandalism.

The trio arrived on the Playland beach in a small boat a little before midnight on Sept. 23.

They then climbed a fence to enter the amusement area.

The intruders vandalized an electrical room, cutting or ripping out fiber optic cables for phone and internet service.

They stole 200 stuffed animals, which they hauled away in garbage bags.

The suspects also attempted to throw a photo booth off the boardwalk but were unable to do so.

Detectives have previously shared suspect photos and case information with law enforcement in the region but the suspects have yet to be identified.

Anyone who recognizes them, or their boat, is asked to contact detectives in the General Investigations Unit at 914-864-7916.

The County Police also maintain telephone and electronic tips lines for the public to provide information.

The voice tip line is 800-898-8477.

Electronic tips can be sent to [email protected].
