Woman Caught On Video Stealing Trump Campaign Sign
MARBLEHEAD (CBS) – Police are trying to identify a woman accused of stealing a Marblehead Donald Trump supporter's political sign after the theft was caught on surveillance video.
The incident took place Tuesday night on Harbor Ave.
Police say surveillance video shows a car pulling up to the home around 9:30 p.m. and returning about an hour later.
Do you recognize this suspect or vehicle? Marblehead Police are investigating the seventh theft/vandalism of a political campaign sign from a residential home on Harbor Avenue. This theft occurred late last evening. The suspects made one pass at approximately 9:28pm and then returned again around 10:21pm to complete the crime. Regardless of political affiliations, trespassing on private property and the taking of something that doesn't belong to you (which under MA law is considered Larceny) can land a person in court with hefty fines, the possibility of jail time and a criminal record. Clearly the woman depicted here is old enough to know better! Any information that leads to the identity of the suspect would be appreciated. Please contact us at 781-631-1212

A woman can be seen on video jumping out of the car, taking a Donald Trump campaign sign out of the ground, and running back to the backseat of the waiting car with the sign before leaving the area.
Marblehead Police said that regardless of political affiliations, it is against the law to trespass on private property and steal political signs, adding the crime "can land a person in court with hefty fines, the possibility of jail time and a criminal record."
"Clearly the woman depicted here is old enough to know better!" police said in a Facebook post.
Last week a North Reading woman was charged with vandalizing an Andover man's homemade Trump sign and nearly running him over as she fled the area.
