County Executive Andy Spano issued the following statement:
"We have zero-tolerance for these kinds of acts of hatred and bigotry. Every time I hear of one of these incidents, it's a reminder anew of how vigilant we have to be in addressing each and every such incident. Young and old must understand how unacceptable this is. And this must be accomplished by both education and criminal prosecution, when appropriate. The executive director of the Westchester County Human Rights Commission stands ready to assist the community."
A witness who was walking in the area observed a suspicious vehicle in front of the building and allegedly observed the defendants, who subsequently fled the scene.
The witness contacted police and provided infomation that led to the identification of the vehicle involved.
Authorities say the suspects voluntarily appeared at police headquarters for questioning and were later arrested.
