Haddonfield Police: 7 Street Signs and 5 Bikes Stolen This Month

Seven street signs and five bikes were stolen this month in Haddonfield, according to police reports.

Street signs were reported missing along Redman Avenue on June 13 and then four were reported missing along North Haddon Avenue on June 18.

Last August, 11 street signs were reported stolen in a similar incident. Haddonfield has been a frequent target of metal thieves over the last 18 months. Several dozen thefts of copper downspouts have been reported over that time.

Police have not reported any motive for the sign thefts, but the borough commissioners are concerned.

"We should put this in the paper," Mayor Tish Colombi, one of three borough commissioners said this week. "It's costly to replace these signs. People need to know what's happening."

In other police reports, five bikes have been stolen this month. The reports include thefts on:

• June 17, at 5:21, from the borough library on Haddon and Tanner streets
• June 17, at 12:48 p.m. from the front porch of a home in the 200 block of Lake St.
• June 16, from an unlocked garage in the 400 block of Westminster Ave.
• June 15, at 9:39 p.m. from the Wedgewood Swim Club
• June 7, at 4 p.m. from

None of the bikes were locked.

On June 16, a resident in the 200 block of Centre Street reported that two leaf blowers, two cans of gasoline and a weed wacker were stolen from the bed of his pickup truck overnight. The truck was parked in front of his home.
