Easton Police Investigating Theft Of Political Lawn Signs

EASTON, CT —The Easton Police Department is investigating numerous reports of theft of political signs, and vandalism with political messages painted on the streets.

"We are asking the people responsible to please refrain from this type of behavior, as it is taking time and valuable resources away from the police department, and the availability for our officers to serve the community in other areas," the police posted to social media.

Police also warn that fixing and removing the acts of vandalism is placing a strain upon the Public Works Department in both time and money.

The Easton Police Department is advising that anyone caught engaging in vandalism or theft of political signs will be arrested and charged with criminal mischief.
