There reward for information leading to the arrest of three suspects who vandalized a Menorah in Holbrook earlier this month is now $7,000.

Suffolk police have been searching for the three young men who damaged the holiday display the outside Friendly Drugs on Main Street on Dec. 4. The vandals caused about $2,000 worth of damage, according to Hate Crimes Unit detectives.
