Anti-Semitic symbols and hateful language were discovered Sunday carved into playground equipment at Setauket Elementary School, Suffolk police said, prompting Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo to direct a state hate crimes task force to help in the investigation.

The graffiti, carved into the playground slides, was found by members of the community shortly after noon Sunday, Cheryl Pedisich, superintendent of the Three Village school district, wrote in a letter to parents this week.

The graffiti has been removed and the space thoroughly cleaned, she said.

The incident is being investigated by Suffolk County Police Hate Crimes Unit detectives, who said Friday that the messages were not targeting a specific individual. No arrest has been made.

On Saturday, Cuomo’s office released a statement saying that he has directed the State Police Hate Crimes Task Force to offer help in the investigation.
