Amazon is shutting down a construction site in Windsor, Connecticut, after a seventh noose was found there, the Connecticut NAACP and the company said Thursday.

The latest incident, which occurred Wednesday, comes after the first noose was discovered on April 27, hanging from a steel beam on the second floor of the building, Windsor Police Capt. Andrew Power said in a statement.

Police said five more ropes “that could be interpreted as nooses” were found on several different floors on April 29.

“Some of them were just rope that was tied at the end and some were twisted in a manner to look like a noose,” said Power.

Because the ropes were hung in an area without surveillance cameras and because the facilities have hundreds of employees from various companies, the police have limited information on leads, Power said.
