Residents of the Greeley neighborhood around Glenmere Park were angry, puzzled and heartbroken Sunday when they discovered two roughly 10-foot-by-10-foot swastikas dug in the snow on the lake at Glenmere Park.
It appears the symbols were made by a single person, who made them from shuffling across the lake, which is only a few blocks away from Beth Israel Congregation Synagogue, 1625 Reservoir Road in Greeley.
Greeley police Lt. David Spies said there is no indication to believe the symbols were drawn as a threat to the synagogue. He explained that though the departmentap neighborhood action team was notified, it is unlikely a perpetrator will be found.
Because the symbols were made on the lake — which even has a “Caution Thin Ice” sign feet from where the footprints lead to the lake — it would be dangerous to attempt to cover them up, Spies said. He said the area has a history of people falling through the ice.
Spies encourages anyone who sees suspicious activity to call the police immediately.
