Police are investigating after two unusual items were stolen from the set of the movie "Beetlejuice 2" in East Corinth, Vermont.
The first theft was reported at 12:35 a.m. on July 14, according to Vermont State Police. Movie security told police that someone drove a pickup truck up to a large lamppost "topped with a distinctive pumpkin decoration" on Village Road, removed the lamppost from its base, bundled it into the back of the truck, covered it with a tarp and fled at a high rate of speed. The pickup was reported to be an older model GMC with an unknown license plate.
The second theft was reported around 4 p.m. Monday, police said. Movie officials told police that the perpetrators stole a 150-pound abstract art statue from the vicinity of the cemetery. The theft is believed to have occurred sometime between 5 p.m. on July 13 and 11 a.m. on July 17. State police released a photo of the statue, which resembles a pair of giant, green monster hands.
