Overview
- The plastic skull vanished from behind the Medway Recreation Center at 123 Holliston St. and was last seen Friday, according to police.
- Detectives are investigating the disappearance as a larceny and reviewing surveillance video, Detective Sergeant Lauren Swarthout said.
- Parks & Recreation posted a public appeal on social media and asked anyone with information to contact Medway police detectives or submit an anonymous tip.
- Staff who searched the grounds say the head is heavy and unlikely to have been carried off by recent winds or storms.
- The 12-foot figure has been a Choate Park staple since 2023, dressed for holidays, and though it cost under $500 officials stress its outsized sentimental value.
