Police in Vermont are searching for whoever stole a statue and several other items from the set of the upcoming movie Beetlejuice 2. Investigators say they were alerted to two incidents in East Corinth, Vermont, where part of the movie was filmed. The first was just after midnight last Friday when security told police a person driving a pickup truck removed a large lamp post topped with a pumpkin and then drove off. On Monday, movie officials reported that the thieves struck again, stealing a 150-pound art statue, which is familiar from the first movie.
The thefts have left the local community puzzled and concerned. Residents are wondering how the thieves plan to hide the stolen items, especially the distinctive art statue. Since it is recognizable from the first Beetlejuice movie, authorities believe it will be challenging for the culprits to sell or display the stolen piece without raising suspicion.
With the investigation ongoing, the police are urging anyone with information to come forward and help in tracking down the suspects. The movie production team has not released an official statement regarding the incident or how it may affect the movie's filming schedule.
