Police in Florida and other jurisdictions say a trio of suspects is accused of stealing heirlooms left in cemeteries across the United States, with alleged incidents reported in at least nine states. Investigators are seeking the suspects after discovering items taken from graves and memorials.
Reports indicate the alleged activity spans from Florida to the northeast, including an account reaching as far as Buffalo, New York. The cases appear to involve similar methods, according to authorities, and detectives are coordinating leads to identify the suspects and determine the full scope of the thefts.
While the outlets focus on the multi-state nature of the alleged scheme, details about suspects’ identities, exact dates, and evidence vary by coverage. Both accounts center on law enforcement urging the public to report any information that could help locate those responsible and bring charges if warranted.
