The Boaz Police Department needs your help
On Saturday, September 26, at approximately 1:54 a.m., individuals entered Old Mill Park, vandalized the park, and took property that did not belong to them.
If you recognize the person or individuals shown in the video, please contact the Boaz Police Department at 256-593-6812.
A tremendous amount of hard work, time, and effort has gone into making Old Mill Park a beautiful and safe place where families can gather, spend time together, and celebrate special occasions. It is disappointing to see that work damaged by the actions of a few.
Please help us identify the individual or individuals responsible. If you have any information, no matter how small, please contact the Boaz Police Department.
Thank you for helping us take care of our community and the places we all enjoy.
PLEASE SHARE!
