BEAUFORT, S.C. (AP) - Authorities say that Christmas lights were stolen from the historic Penn Center on St. Helena Island.
The Island Packet reports (https://bit.ly/2hrjOhd ) that the lights valued at $150 were reported stolen on Christmas Eve.
The lights display Christmas patterns on buildings.
A Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office report says that no suspects have been identified.
The Penn Center is considered a historical and cultural landmark. It has its roots in the Penn School that opened in 1862 as one of the first schools for freed slaves in the South.
