Authorities searching for thief who stole Minnesota city’s welcome sign
Authorities in Wabasha County are asking for the public’s help in solving the theft of a city welcome sign.
The sheriff’s office said the large “Welcome to Millville” sign was taken earlier this week. Photos shared by the sheriff’s office show that two wooden posts supporting the sign were cut off, and the sign removed.
Organizers of the Millville Valley River Days event said it was one of two new welcome signs they purchased for the community a few years ago.
Two cut-off posts were left when someone stole a welcome sign in the community of Millville in southeast Minnesota in January 2025.
