The Orangetown police posted on Facebook about vandalism they're investigating. The white pickup truck in this video drove onto the fields of the Rockland Gaelic Athletic Association at 160 Old Orangeburg Road in Orangeburg on Oct. 7, police said.

"We believe the pickup truck to be a 2014 or 2015 Chevrolet Silverado, color white, no running boards, standard side-view mirrors with a short cargo bed," police said. "A study of the full length of the video shows the vehicle to be occupied by 3 or 4 individuals. There also appears to be cargo loaded in the bed of the pickup truck with possibly a “job-box” mounted in the bed just under the rear cab window. "

Anyone with information on this incident, or the vehicle depicted in this video, can contact the Orangetown Police Department, Detective Frank Buhler at 845-359-2121 or 845-359-3730 ext. 1.
