Danvers Couple Accused Of Stealing Black Lives Matter Banners

DANVERS, MA — Wenham police are seeking charges against a 78-year-old man and a 67-year-old woman from Danvers for stealing three Black Lives Matter banners from homes in recent weeks.

The names of the man and woman were not released. The two will be scheduled for a show cause hearing where a magistrate will determine if there is enough probable cause to charge the man and the woman.
