Search continues for NYC vandals who targeted Republican club holiday party, put fake body bags on sidewalk

The hunt continued in New York City Wednesday for suspects accused of spray-painting an anarchy symbol and anti-police messaging on the façade of the Metropolitan Republican Club on the Upper East Side.

The vandalism was reported to the New York Police Department at 11:16 a.m. Dec. 3, before the GOP club’s scheduled Christmas and Hanukkah Social that evening.

Surveillance video from Metropolitan Republican Club shared with Fox News Wednesday shows fake body bags being placed on the sidewalk in front of the building.

No suspects had been arrested as of Wednesday, nearly a week after the incident.

NYPD Detective Sophia Mason said in a statement to Fox News Wednesday that police responded to the club on East 83 Street. 

“Upon arrival officers found that an unknown individual(s) spray-painted graffiti on the front door and wall of the location. In addition, the officers found three signs and four garbage bags shaped like human bodies on the sidewalk. There are no arrests and the investigation is ongoing,” the statement said.
