Vandalen loot graves on Kaiserslauterer cemetery

Theft of cemetery jewelry is shocked by the community in Kaiserslautern

In the night from Thursday to Friday, thieves hit the main cemetery in Kaiserslautern and robbed numerous graves. The perpetrators penetrated the cemetery site with heavy tools and apparently stolen bronze figures and grave decorations of around 200 graves. Among other things, an angle grinder was used to carry out the theft. The police are still investigating the exact amount of the damage.

The theft of grave decorations in cemeteries is an alarming trend that shakes not only the families concerned, but the entire community in Kaiserslautern. The cemetery should be a place of calm and commemoration, but such ruthless actions disturb the sensitive balance.

The police in Kaiserslautern asks the population to help you hold the perpetrators and protect the cemetery from further thefts. The theft of grave decorations is not only a criminal offense, but also an act of deepest disrespect for the deceased and their families.
