Red Balloon Scare Explained

When the Lititz Borough Police Department in Pennsylvania was called in to investigate a mysterious red balloon tied to a sewer grate (suspicious balloon pictured below), brave crime fighters quickly responded, referring alarmed citizens to the official trailer of the 2017 release of Stephen King’s “It.”

Once police determined the red balloon was not a public threat, they decided to have a little fun, posting the following photo and summary of the full scale investigation below.

Sooooo our Red Balloon and “IT” post we posted earlier today took on a life its own(no pun intended), and now due to widespread media coverage all over the country and intense public scrutiny and outcry, we have turned the investigation over to our Criminal Investigations Division for further investigation and prosecution of the person(s), errr ah, “thing” responsible. CID wasted no time springing into action, here’s one of them checking for fingerprints with their ever so handy can of “duster.” Don’t worry everyone, we’ll have the person or “thing” responsible in custody in no time, these guys really know what they’re doing! P.S. Don’t tell them that Clowns wear gloves, we want to see how long this keeps them occupied! 😂😂

 Red balloons sightings are now being reported across the United States, Australia and Europe. The movie will be released September 8, 2017.
