Wanted: Individuals who witnessed a burglary and disruption at a cemetery in Marxloh; police are asking for their help in the investigation
In an unfortunate turn of events, at least 26 grave lamps and metal vases were stolen from graves within a local cemetery between the evening of July 23 and early morning of July 24. The exact location of the incident was not specified, but the police are actively investigating the matter.
The perpetrators, who remain unidentified, partially removed the concrete foundations of the graves to access the stolen items. This act of vandalism has caused emotional distress for the relatives of the deceased, as grave lights, vases, and grave maintenance are significant for mourning and remembrance.
The police believe the theft was deliberate, with the intention of selling the metal objects. Witnesses with information about suspicious individuals or activities during the specified time period are asked to contact the police. Information about persons who loaded a vehicle near the cemetery could also be valuable to the investigation.
The stolen items were taken to the center of the cemetery, where some lamps and vases were left behind. If you have any information about these items or any other details related to the incident, please contact the Criminal Commissioner 34 at 0203 2800.
In addition, any information about persons who entered and exited the cemetery repeatedly in a suspicious manner could aid in solving the case. The police are urging the public to be vigilant and report any suspicious activities to ensure the safety and respect for the deceased and their families.
