PORTLAND, Maine — The Portland Police Department is seeking the public\u2019s help in solving an ongoing mystery. For more than 40 years, the \u201cValentine\u2019s Day Bandit\u201d has been covering the city of Portland with paper hearts and in some cases flags or banners. They are suspected of spreading good will and happiness throughout the great city of Portland.<\/p>\n
This seems to occur under the cover of darkness on the eve of Valentine\u2019s Day. Portland PD is closer than ever to discovering the identity of this so called \u201cbandit\u201d. To date we have had several solid leads as well as descriptions of the possible culprit.<\/p>\n
This year, the \u201cbandit\u201d was seen in the location of Central Fire Station, among many other locations. Strangely enough, even the flag atop the fire station has been replaced with a new banner with a red heart on it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This brazen \u201cbandit\u201d was even daring enough to post their message at Police Headquarters. After an extensive investigation and follow up, Police may have some leads.<\/p>\n
If anyone has any information that would assist in the investigation, contact the Porland PD, as they would like to thank them for making Valentine\u2019s Day a little brighter for Portlanders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
