Wantagh Marina Thieves strike again

The Nassau County parks Department still haven't found a way to protect the marina and the park itself from thieves, vandals and other ne'er-do-wells who prowl in the dark. Despite periodic drive throughs by Public Security Vehicles and occasionally a police vehicle, groups of youths roam the park at will most nights without being challenged or investigated. Overnight Wednesday, September 8th, at least 3 boats on "F" Dock were broken into and contents stolen. That is twice in 11 days and should be intolerable to the county administration as well as to the boater victims.

Would you think the Parks Department and Police Department would be proactive in addressing this problem. Wantagh Park is officially closed from dusk to dawn except for boat owners, guests and lighted activities, ie ball games. Why isn't Nassau County enforcing the law? Is your county park safe?
