Sign Theft

Over the past week several Lamont County road warning signs have been stolen from various locations within the County. Not only is this a criminal offense and very dangerous to other drivers on the roads but it’s also expensive to rate payers (60x60cm signs cost between $90-$120).

If any of these signs made their way to the yard of someone you know please see that they are put safely to the side of a Lamont County road where they can be collected by public works.

Thank you.
