Vermont State Police are asking for the help in solving crimes of theft

Vermont State Police are asking for the public’s help in solving crimes of theft that happened on the East Corinth set of the movie “Beetlejuice 2.” In one case, movie security personnel reported at 12:35 a.m. on July 14 that someone had driven an older model GMC pickup truck up to a large lamppost topped with a distinctive pumpkin decoration on Village Road, removed the lamppost from its base, bundled it into the back of the truck, covered it with a tarp, and drove away at a high rate of speed. The second crime was reported on Monday about 4 p.m. Movie officials told state police that someone had stolen a large abstract art sculpture from the vicinity of the cemetery. The sculpture weighs about 150 pounds. The theft is believed to have occurred sometime between 5 p.m. on July 13, and 11 a.m. on Monday. Anyone with information about these thefts is asked to contact the Vermont State Police in St. Johnsbury at 802-748-3111 or leave an anonymous tip online at https://vsp.vermont.gov/tipsubmit.
