Long Beach — While out delivering a yard sign, Feb. 12, council candidate Ketty Citterio noticed the disappearance of at least 30 of her signature sunrise-logo yard signs along Ocean Boulevard and 1st St. Soon other neighbor supporters in the area realized the same thing.
Security cam footage from one sign location, the condo complex at the northeast corner of Ocean Blvd. and Junipero Ave., caught the act of political theft on tape. The footage reveals two perpetrators on electric bikes pulling up and swiping two signs at about 9:30 p.m. on the evening of Feb. 10.

The police were called and came out to take a report, filed as report DR# 24-7354. The Citterio campaign will be reaching out to the city prosecutor to ask for an investigation.
