Sign welcoming people to Kennebunkport has been found

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine – A sign welcoming people to the community of Kennebunkport has been found, police said Monday.

In a Facebook post, police said the sign “was, unfortunately, taken by those who would rather take that which is not their own.”

On Friday police posted that the “Welcome to Kennebunkport” sign posted off the side of the Lanigan Bridge had gone missing. The bridge is a popular spot for visitors and tourists to take photos, often with the sign in the background.

The sign, which shows some of town’s skyline, is made of copper and aluminum, but police don’t think it was stolen for scrap.

Police thanked “’those who constructively assisted” in the return of the sign, but did not say if anyone would be facing charges for taking it.
