If the holiday view at the downtown triangle looks in disarray, it was vandalized

Unfortunately, after many volunteers decorated downtown Franklin on the weekend before Thanksgiving, some folks apparently thought of other things to do with the decorations (aside from leaving them alone!).


A report was filed with the Franklin Police the week of Dec 6, 2021:

  • multiple bows on the Rome side bridge were taken

  • greens and bows on the train side bridge were pulled out

  • one wreath on the train side bridge is missing

  • the red candy cane on the sleigh was removed

  • gift boxes previously stacked in the sleigh were thrown over the fencing to the tracks below


Franklin Police responded to the report, took photos to add to the report, and will step up patrols.

 

If anyone knows of, or saw the vandal(s) in action, please let Franklin Police know. They can take tips at their tip line -> 508-440-2780.
