An unknown individual or group of people reportedly stole pumpkins from the display in front of Barrington’s St. John’s Church late Saturday night or early Sunday morning, Oct. 10 or 11, and then smashed the gourds on County Road.
The pumpkins are part of the church’s annual fund-raising pumpkin sale.
Police responded to the scene shortly after the incident was reported and scoured the area for suspects. Officers located a teenage boy walking near Prince’s Hill Cemetery (near Barrington Town Hall) and questioned him. The boy said he had nothing to do with the smashed pumpkins and police said his story checked out.
Police are still investigating.
