Police: We've Found 'Stolen' Planter

Case Closed.

That's the word from Wenham Police Chief Tom Perkins.

On Wednesday, Hamilton-Wenham Patch reported that a planter at the intersection of Cedar and Cherry streets had been stolen.

As it turns out, it was a fear that it would get stolen that prompted it to be removed until it was filled with soil and flowers.

"A DPW foreman took it for safe keeping so it would not get stolen," Perkins said in a message to Hamilton-Wenham Patch.

So there was no theft and all of the new planters constructed by the Wenham Highway Department are in safe hands, and the planting has been completed.
