LUMBERTON, NC (WBTW)- Lumberton police confirm someone vandalized three sides of a confederate statue in Robeson County this past weekend.
According to a police report, the statue is located at 500 North Elm Street, in front of the Robeson County courthouse.
NCpedia.org reports the marble monument was dedicated in 1907 and sponsored by the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
