Police posted pictures that show the razor blades taped to the side of the signs.



"When the resident went to remove the Shapiro sign from their property they were cut by the razor blades placed around the perimeter of the sign. Obviously, this was designed to inflict punishment on anyone who attempted to remove the sign. We were contacted later and upon inspecting all the campaign signs, officers found that a Fetterman campaign sign and an Ehasz campaign sign also had razor blades placed around the perimeter of the sign. These signs were removed by the officers," said the Upper Makefield Township Police Department on Facebook.
