Fremont seeks vandals of Christmas display

11/18/2006

FREMONT Vandalism at the city s annual Christmas lights display has led the city of Fremont to offer a $250 reward for help apprehending the culprits who stole the lights from 20 displays.

The local merchants group sponsors the display at Rodger Young Park. All the light bulbs were removed from the displays between last Friday and Tuesday.

The display opens Dec. 1, and Fremont officials said the vandalism should not delay the opening.

A similar reward is being offered for information leading to the arrests of graffiti artists who have vandalized property around town.
