Merced Police Recover Stolen Applegate Zoo Sign After Six Months

News summary

The Merced Police Department successfully recovered the stolen Applegate Zoo bear sign, which had been missing since February. The sign was found intact and displayed on a wall inside a vacant home in south Merced, following a tip from a community member. Police surprised the City Council by unveiling the recovered sign during a recent meeting, highlighting the importance of community cooperation in the investigation. The sign is a symbol of the city's efforts to redefine the zoo as a regional wildlife rescue and education center, supported by pandemic recovery funds. While a person of interest has been identified, no arrests have been made, and the investigation remains ongoing. In response to the theft, new security cameras have been installed at the zoo, and a replacement sign has been put up, with officials considering placing one of the signs in the zoo gift shop.
