Theft Of Stop Signs

*Reported 7:15am Seasons Road/Ferguson Road

Two stop signs were taken, as well as two ‘stop ahead’ signs and warning flags. The signs are valued at $550. Due to the fact that missing stop signs can pose a serious risk to motorists, as well as the fact that the total value of the signs makes the theft a felony, the Streetsboro Police Department is actively investigating the case. Anyone with any information regarding the theft is asked to contact the Streetsboro Police Department at (330) 626-4976. New signs have been posted at the intersection. If you see anyone tampering with those signs, you are asked to call the above number or dial 911.
