The Christmas light display at River Park Square in downtown Plymouth was severely vandalized Wednesday, December 13 just after 3 a.m. ET.
According to the Plymouth Park Department, those allegedly responsible went from pole to pole cutting the Christmas light strands at the base of the light poles and the light strands for the official Christmas tree for the City of Plymouth.
