Police said in a Facebook post that the incident, which occurred around 10:21 p.m. on Tuesday, is the seventh theft of a political sign from a home on Harbor Avenue.

Marblehead police are asking for the public’s help identifying a woman they say crept onto a resident’s property this week under the cover of darkness and removed a Trump sign before fleeing in a vehicle.

It seems that, in some neighborhoods, signs in support of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign don’t stand a chance.

“Regardless of political affiliations, trespassing on private property and the taking of something that doesn’t belong to you — which under [state] law is considered Larceny — can land a person in court with hefty fines, the possibility of jail time, and a criminal record,” police said on Facebook.


The department in their post included a video of the alleged thief. The woman can be seen holding the Trump campaign sign in one hand, while apparently fiddling with the metal poles that held it up. She then quickly runs toward a car with an open rear passenger door before the vehicle takes off.

“Clearly, the woman depicted here is old enough to know better!” police said of the incident. “Any information that leads to the identity of the suspect would be appreciated.”

The report of the theft of the Trump sign in Marblehead comes a day after a North Reading woman pleaded not guilty in Lawrence District Court to charges that she vandalized a Trump campaign sign, and nearly ran over the sign’s owner as she made her escape.
