Dozens of used medical needles scattered along a Long Beach street next to a youth handball court were removed Sunday by a Nassau hazardous-materials team.

The syringes were found by three children who rode their bikes and scooters to East State Street just off Monroe Avenue, and reported the finding to their parents around 12:25 p.m.

Well done, kids, for reporting this.
