Residents Report Damage To Christmas Decorations

There is a Scrooge – or Scrooges – on the loose.

Newtown Township police said they received four reports of damaged or relocated Christmas decorations over the weekend.

According to police, two of the incidents happened Saturday and two were reported Sunday.

On Saturday, a resident of Hidden Turn Lane reported that the wire to his outside Christmas lights had been cut at some point within the last week.  

And at 10:40 p.m. that day, a resident of Declaration Drive reported that he observed a silver pick-up truck stop in front of his house. He said the occupants got out and ran onto his front yard and damaged his Christmas decorations. The subjects got back in the vehicle and fled the area.  Police checked the area looking for a white or silver pick-up truck but did not locate it. 

Then on Sunday at approximately 1:30 p.m., police were dispatched to Valley View Way for a report of criminal mischief.  The responding officer met with the caller, who told him that someone had gone onto his property and relocated his Christmas decorations overnight.  No damage was done to the decorations.

Around 5:35 p.m. Sunday, a resident of Violet Lane reported that someone had ruined her outside Christmas decorations.
