Vandals Damage Cape Story Park Saturday Evening

The following notice comes from the Cape Story Nextdoor website – 

The doggie poop bag dispenser was torn from the post and tossed in the street on the Bayberry side of the Cape Story Park sometime from Saturday evening to Sunday morning.   Police Report filed.  I hope the Beech and Hatton Street dispensers are still standing.
