A recent rash of missing and destroyed mayoral campaign signs has led to the filing of a criminal complaint by the Diane Cibrian campaign over the loss of 300 large yard posters that the campaign estimates is worth $13,000.
Two of the other major candidates, Julián Castro and Trish DeBerry-Mejia, said they also have lost hundreds more signs, although neither has filed a complaint.
Without citing specific evidence, the DeBerry-Mejia and Cibrian camps accused Castro's campaign, the acknowledged frontrunner, of involvement in the felony thefts.
"This is clearly dirty campaigning," said Christian Anderson, Cibrian's campaign director. "There appears to be two of us affected, but clearly this has not been an issue for the Castro campaign."
Anderson said police told him "that the effort sounds systematic, not something done by kids as a prank."
