No signs at the scene of this Revere crime

By Stewart Bishop, Globe Correspondent

Sharp-eyed detectives may find telltale signs at the scene of a crime. In a case in Revere, there weren't any. They'd all been stolen.

Over $10,000 worth of street signs were discovered stolen from the Revere City Yard this morning.

According to Revere Police, a city worker returned to work at 321 Charger Street around 8:30 a.m. after a weeklong absence to discover the signs and other equipment missing.

Police estimate that between 1,000 and 1,500 signs were stolen, and are unsure of how someone gained entry to the building, or if any alarms had gone off in the past week. Police believe that someone would have to have a van or truck to carry away that amount of material.

The case has been forwarded to the detective division, which is investigating.
