Police are asking the public for information in relation to thefts of items from gravestones.

Between October 17 and 20, items were taken from grave stones in the Delabole area. These were of sentimental value only and the owners would like them returned.

PCSO Terry Groves said: “This is a distressing situation as they have already lost their loved ones and now someone has made it even more distressing for them.”

Police said any information received would be confidential.

Anyone with information is asked to call 101 and ask to be put through to PCSO Terry Groves 30284 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
