Suffolk police are asking for the public’s help to locate three people who trespassed and caused damage to property in Suffolk County earlier this month.

The men illegally entered the former Dowling College campus around 4 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 19.

Suffolk Fifth Precinct Crime Section officers say the group damaged a fence while at the site.

As News 12 has reported, there have been multiple instances of vandalism and security concerns at the location on Chateau Drive over the past several years.

The property was recently put up for sale again amid the ongoing community concerns, following the closing of the school in 2016.

Anyone who thinks they recognize these individuals is encouraged to contact police at 1-800-220-TIPS.

Crime Stoppers offers a cash reward for information that leads to an arrest.

All calls remain anonymous.
