Removing or defacing political signs is illegal.

As the Provincial and Municipal elections draw closer, many residents have displayed their right to post political signs on their lawn or at other places on their property.

The Owen Sound Police Service is reminding members of the community that moving, defacing or committing any other property related mischief is a criminal offence and will be treated as such. Charges will be laid.

If you witness any crime in progress always call 9-1-1.
