"No Urban Center" Signs Stolen in Richmond Beach

Save Richmond Beach, the activists who are opposed to the Point Wells project, are reporting that last the night approximately 60 "No Urban Center at Point Wells" signs were stolen from yards and the public right of way in Richmond Beach.

"We feel that it is immensely important to get those signs back out there as it is your right to express your opinion about the Urban Center at Point Wells," the group said in an e-mail sent out to subscribers.
 
Save Richmond Beach is offering replacements for $6, which it says is its cost. New signs are still being offered at the original $10. The new batch of signs will arrive next week.

"We will alert anyone who orders when and where they can pick them up," the e-mail reads.

New signs, can be ordered via the Web site.

Save Richmond Beach is also reporting the person who stole the signs is a white male driving a medium-sized dark red or burgundy SUV (similar to a Ford Explorer). He was lifting signs between 8:30 and 9:00 p.m. Thursday evening.

"Please contact us if you saw this person or have any information that might identify him," the e-mail says.

The fine per sign is $1,000 and potentially 90 days in jail per offense.

A Save Richmond Beach member has offered a $500 reward for information that leads to a conviction. People can e-mail the group with information.
