Medway police are on the trail of a Halloween fixture with a lot of name recognition and zero body. A large decorative skeleton head, known around town as "Kevin," was taken from the Medway Parks & Recreation complex and is now at the center of a larceny investigation. Officers say the piece was last seen at the Parks & Rec facility on Holliston Street, and investigators plan to pull surveillance footage. The department is urging anyone with information to speak up and says detectives are actively following leads.
Police detail what was taken
In a social media post the Medway Police Department described the missing display as "a large skeleton head" and said its removal from town property is being handled as a larceny case. The department noted that the Parks & Recreation building is covered by security cameras and that detectives will be combing through the recordings as part of the investigation, according to Medway Police Department.
Where the display was kept
The head was last seen at the Medway Parks & Recreation building at 123 Holliston Street, the town's hub for events and recreation programming. The address is listed as the official Parks & Recreation facility location on the town's website, according to Town of Medway.
How to report tips
Police asked anyone who knows what happened to Kevin's head to email detectives at [email protected] or to submit an anonymous tip through the town's online form hosted by HeyGov. Those contact options were included in the department's social media post, according to Medway Police Department.
Possible charges and penalties
Under Massachusetts law, taking someone else's property without permission is treated as larceny, and the potential penalties depend on how much the item is worth. The state's larceny statute is codified at Massachusetts Legislature, which lays out sentencing ranges that vary with the value involved.
What happens next
Investigators say they will keep working through tips and reviewing any available video, and the department has pledged to update the community if there are significant developments. For now, town officials and residents are being asked to check any private security cameras in the area and report anything that might help track down the missing head.
