RAYNHAM, MASS. (WHDH) - Surveillance video captures the moment a man hops over a fence to steal a tree from the Garden Patch Christmas Tree Farm in Raynham early Monday morning.
Police said the man stole two cash registers, a backpack blower, two chainsaws, 30 jars of jam, 20 wreaths, a box of 30 “swag” decorations, a drill and box of drill bits, and two Rubber Maid containers full of ornaments.
The suspect also allegedly caused a significant amount of property damage.
Now, co-owner Steven Vilasboas says he hopes his business will be able to rebound from the loss.
“We put it all over Facebook and stuff so there have been people who came in and are like, ‘Hey I’ve never been here before so we want to support you,” he said. “So hopefully. But still, you know, you still get that shock where you’re like are they gonna come back?”
The suspect is described as a white man with a neck tattoo on his right side and tattoos on both hands.
He was last seen wearing a hooded sweatshirt, stocking style hat, jogger sweatpants and a backpack with webbing worn on the back. He is believed to be driving a Nissan Rogue.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Raynham police at 508-824-2716.
