ORO VALLEY, Ariz. — Elizabeth Robb drives around Oro Valley with her candidate signs and tools in the trunk of her van.
She's running for Oro Valley City Council. As the primary election approaches, she says more of her signs are being stolen or damaged.Robb says signs having bent poles and broken zip ties prove the damage was human-caused and the result of recent monsoon storms. She shows me one sign of hers with such damaged. It's next to multiple signs from other candidates, which are not damaged.The Oro Valley Police Department is also unsure who is behind this. They say they've received about a dozen reports from a few candidates about stolen signs.Wright adds that stolen and damaged signs are nothing new during an election cycle. Even though it's common, Arizona law makes it a misdemeanor to steal or damage signs.
“You don’t have to agree with a candidate, but don’t interfere with their signs and stuff like that. It is a crime, and it’s just not right," Wright said.Adam Klepp is a reporter for KGUN 9.
