Black wires dangle from the base of a surveillance camera system attached to a pole in Riverhead’s Grangebel Park. All that’s missing is the camera.
A handful of other poles throughout the park feature the same setup: the base attached to a pole with no camera.
So what happened to the cameras?
Councilwoman Catherine Kent and Evelyn Hobson-Womack, two Democrats running for election in November, said the town has failed to get the system up and running after two years.
