(New Brighton, Pa.) New Brighton Police Chief Ron Walton confirmed this morning that a complaint has been filed by borough business owner/resident Valerie McElvey after 20 signs hung on both sides of Third Avenue were ripped off of trees and thrown in trash cans . Mrs. McKelvey said, “As I walked yesterday morning at 7:30 a.m. I discovered one sign down, she said the vandals actually ripped them from the trees, leaving the corn stalks that are part of the décor intact. She said the signs covered in plastic were happy personal signs at eye level facing the sidewalk on both sides of the street.” The signs were donated, and paid $10 each.
