Abandoned Property from Philando Castile Protests Available for Pickup
If you left a massage table at the Philando Castile protests this summer, the Saint Paul police want you to pick it up by Oct. 24.
Massage tables, kiddie pools, empty coolers, a family-sized tent, a red rug, an orange 10-speed bicycle, a black 10-speed bicycle, cases of energy drinks, trash cans and four brooms are among the abandoned property that the Saint Paul Police Department is trying to return to its rightful owners. The property was left behind by protesters who gathered in front of the governor’s mansion in July and at the intersection of Carroll Avenue and Grotto Street North in August, police say.
The department is asking the property’s owners to call the property room at (651) 266-5637 to make arrangements to pick it up by 4:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 24.
If the property is not claimed within the next 14 days, it will be disposed of by the department, according to a news release.
