Two people have been identified following an investigation into graffiti and other forms of vandalism at the new Bills stadium construction site.
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Two people have been identified following an investigation into graffiti and other forms of vandalism around the new Bills stadium construction site, according to Gilbane | Turner officials.
Gilbane | Turner — the company that is building the new stadium in Orchard Park — recently issued a $100,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction of people involved with the crime.
“The investigation and tip line, conducted in coordination with local law enforcement, have at this time, led to the identification of two individuals who may be responsible for the graffiti. Law enforcement continues to actively pursue the matter,” Gilbane | Turner said in a statement on Saturday.
“As this remains an active investigation, we are directing further inquiries to law enforcement. We appreciate the strong support and partnership throughout this effort.”
Work by 1,500 people at the new stadium resumed Friday, days after it was revealed that construction paused following the discovery of graffiti and vandalism around the site. Company officials said the project would be done on time.
“The Gilbane | Turner team has worked diligently to create a respectful and supportive environment on this project. We have made significant investments in jobsite amenities to support the trade workers performing demanding work, often in challenging weather conditions. They deserve a professional and respectful workplace,” the company said.
“The actions of a very small number of individuals do not reflect the values or conduct of the approximately 8,000 people who have worked on this project to date. They demonstrate professionalism, pride, and respect each and every day.”
2 On Your Side also reached out to the Erie County Sheriff’s Office for an update.
“No charges have been filed, and the investigation is ongoing,'” the sheriff’s office said Saturday afternoon.
