(Jessica Mazzola | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com)CEDAR GROVE -- They may not be the most demure decor, but it's hard to imagine what a blow-up Santa could have done to offend two men who police say targeted the holiday decoration in an attack last week.
According to a Cedar Grove police report posted on the department's website, an Anderson Parkway resident reported at 8:38 p.m. on Dec. 9 that a neighbor saw a dark Jeep pull up to the man's front lawn.
Two men got out of the car and began punching the $100 inflatable lawn decoration, the report says. They then got back in the car, and were seen driving toward Stevens Avenue, the report says.
Police investigating the Santa attack found several punctures in multiple locations on the decoration, it says.
A search for the alleged attackers did not locate them.
