The Easton Police Department is investigating numerous reports of theft of political signs, and vandalism with political messages painted on the streets.  Officials are asking the people responsible to stop because it's taking time and valuable resources away from the police department, and the availability for officers to serve the community.  Chief Richard Doyle says this behavior also puts a strain on the Public Works Department in both time and money trying to remove the acts of vandalism. Anyone caught will be arrested and charged with Criminal Mischief.
