Campaign Signs Stolen From Bel Air Yards: Video

BEL AIR, MD — A campaign sign thief has been captured on camera in Bel Air, but authorities say they have yet to identify him. Investigators say political signs were stolen from multiple yards in the same area.

Deputies were called to the 100 block of Duncannon Road before 10 a.m. Sunday for a report of a theft.

One neighbor caught the theft of a Trump-Pence sign in the area on Saturday.

Above is the video, which the sheriff's office warns "displays what is considered by some to be an obscene hand gesture" from the thief.

Law enforcement officials are trying to identify the person in the video and also encouraged people to have respect for their neighbors.

"We all have differences of opinion. Let's respect those opinions and not step into somebody else’s yard to commit a crime by stealing a campaign sign," the sheriff's office said in a statement Tuesday. "It’s a violation of free speech and downright disrespectful of your neighbors."
