Lucan Reeve Rob Brady told his councillors at a meeting last Tues- day that he has received numerous complaints about Christmas deco- rative light bulbs being smashed or stolen. Exeter has being experiencing the same problem at MacNaughton Park where 60 bulbs were stolen off the trees recently. The lights were replaced but vandals returned and removed more than 300 bulbs, many of which were smashed on the ground. Brady said there is a common perception the culprits are local youth, although, no one has been caught or positively identified. Administrator Ron Reymer said the problem is not isolated, with most damage occurring on Main and Princess Streets. Exeter Council has approved the posting of a $100 reward for infor- mation dealing with its vandalism.
