human skull was found on roof

A human skull was found on the roof of Shield's Tire Service in Port Jervis this week, police said.

Someone found the skull on the roof and police, after a preliminary investigation, have determined that it is human, said Lt. Bill VanInwegen.

Police believe the skull was brought or placed there, and that it is not new, VanInwegen said. He said further forensics examinations need to be done, but police believe it was the skull of a young adult.
