Local Trump Supporter's Sign Stolen 7 Times: Video

Marblehead police are asking the public's help finding suspects who stole a resident's Trump sign for the seventh time.

MARBLEHEAD, MA — A group of serial Donald Trump sign thieves are on the loose in Marblehead and police are asking the public's help identifying them. A woman and another unidentified person rolled up to a Harbor Avenue residence late Tuesday, ripped up a "Trump/Pence" sign, hopped in a white sedan, and sped off.

It was the seventh time this particular resident's Trump signs have been vandalized or stolen, police said.

"Regardless of political affiliations, trespassing on private property and the taking of something that doesn’t belong to you (which under (Massachusetts) law is considered larceny) can land a person in court with hefty fines, the possibility of jail time and a criminal record," Marblehead police said in a statement.
