Plymouth Rock Among Town Landmarks Vandalized Ahead Of 400th Anniversary Celebration

Five O'Clock vandals targeting a historic landmark and other tributes around Plymouth spray painted Plymouth Rock as you can see here with this graffiti overnight and now police are looking for wbz's Bill Shields from Vandals is Alive in Plymouth and Bill somehow this seems more egregious because Plymouth is about to celebrate a huge milestone that Riley says plummeting 400, they're ramping up for spring and summer

s, and of course when the Rock myth is the centerpiece of all that and someone showed up last night and for the life of me I don't understand, it's not urban art or anything like that.

They simply spray painted this and several other monuments in the city. The city wasted little time mid-morning. Plymouth Rock had been power washed, but this is what it looked like before. historic

rock

defaced with red paint I think it's unacceptable I think it's ridiculous I don't understand why they would do that and not stop at Plymouth Rock down the street in Brewster Gardens, the heartless vandals decided they didn't like the statue of the Pilgrim Maiden that honors the women who came out of the Mayflower and started families, yeah, it's very disappointing, heartbreaking, we all work hard, everyone in the city works hard, not just the DPW, to keep this, you know, these places are good ham.

Boucher was examining one of many. decorative scallop shells in the city celebrating the Plymouth 400, this is what they did to her, we are quite devastated, even more so by the devastation of the historical monuments in Plymouth, it is quite heartbreaking and you know this was so atrocious and offended so much to so many people. that the police are doing everything they can to find this person reporting live from Plymouth. I'm Bill Shields, WBZ News, okay, Bill, thanks.
