Amazon Contributes To Reward To Find Noose Suspects

WINDSOR, CT — Amazon is contributing $25,000 to help find those responsible for leaving at least one noose and several ropes at a construction site in Windsor, NBC CT reported. Added to the money provided by the project's contractors and developer, the total reward is now worth $50,000.

Amazon said in a statement that it "remains deep disturbed by the incident that occurred in Windsor a couple of weeks ago," and that "Hate, racism and discrimination have no place in our society," NBC CT reported.

The CT NAACP and town leaders are calling for a thorough investigation of the incident.

Police were dispatched to the 1201 Kennedy Road site last month on a report of suspicious activity and found a noose hanging from a steel beam on the building's second floor.

Police responded to the site two more times on reports of ropes being found, some of which could have been interpreted as nooses.

The area where the noose was found is not monitored by surveillance cameras and is accessible to hundreds of employees from various companies.

The ropes were collected as evidence and will undergo testing to identify potential suspects.
