Wonderful that this information has been shared!

Very sad when people have to rip a Chiefs' jersey off the Statues in Westport, Those jerseys were put on the statues to celebrate the Chiefs and their road to the Super Bowl and someone decided to ruin that celebration for the community. I hope the police find who is responsible.
