Police received a report at 1:41 p.m. Tuesday of a cross and hammer display that had been welded to one of the stones in the new Sculpture Walk at New Denmark Park in Albert Lea. The display had not been previously approved by organizers.

It was unclear if the person who welded it on did so at the site, or if they took the plate off and welded it and then brought it back to the park.

Because it had been welded to the steel plate, the plate was damaged and a new one would have to be purchased.
