Christmas decorations belonging to local museum stolen

The director of the Iron Island Museum in Buffalo's Lovejoy neighborhood says Santa and his reindeer were taken sometime Tuesday night.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Members of the Iron Island Museum are looking for the grinch who stole Christmas decorations belonging to the organization.

Linda Hastreiter, with the museum, says someone walked off with Santa and several reindeer that were part of a holiday display located on a small plot of land located at William and North Ogden Streets in Buffalo's Lovejoy neighborhood.

Hastreiter said thanks to the city providing electricity, this was the first year the island area was able to be decorated. The displays were made by one of the museum's volunteers.

A police report says a spotlight was also destroyed and damage to the display totaled $500. If you have any information on this incident, you're asked to contact the Buffalo Police Department's confidential tip line at (716) 847-2255 or the Iron Island Museum at 892-3084.
