The investigation was prompted when a North Castle Police officer discovered on Monday, Dec. 11 just before 6:30 a.m. that the North Castle Eagle sign at the intersection of Route 22 and Route 128 had fallen.

According to the department, an investigation and preliminary observations determined that there had been "intentional damage" to the sign's support structure, causing it to fall.

However, the investigation was complicated by the advanced deterioration of the wooden structure caused by rot. As a result, the exact time of when the damage was inflicted is uncertain, police said.

The North Castle Police Department is now investigating the collapse and has collected physical evidence from the scene.

Anyone with any information is asked to call the department at 914-273-9500 or the TIPS hotline at 914-273-2077.
