Darien police said they found some adult teenagers in the area who might have committed the vandalism, but they didn’t have enough evidence to make an arrest, so the men were released after questioning that night.

A street sign for Molly Lane — which shares its name with a nickname for the drug MDNA — was stolen sometime between Sunday, June 14 and the next day, according to Darien police. Various other street signs have been stolen around town over the past few weeks, a police spokesman said. Most have been uprooted but found nearby. It costs $50 for the town Department of Public Works to replace a typical street sign, according to police. No other street names in town seem to be double entendres, with one possible exception; police and residents of Weed’s Landing might want to keep an eye on their street sign.
