ARREDONDO FARMS, Fla. -- A Grinch may be lurking among a Central Florida neighborhood, stealing holiday decorations, reindeer and a baby Jesus.
Police said three homes in a neighborhood near Gainesville have been targeted.
A resident said her entire nativity scene, including baby Jesus, was stolen.
Other residents said they worry their decorations will be stolen, too.
Deputies are recommending residents to display their lawn ornaments close to the house where they can be seen from the inside.
Like the Grinch, deputies said it's not likely the thieves will return the stolen decorations.
