Police have appealed for information after a spate of vandalism at Thirsk Cemetery.

Officers say flowers left on graves have had their heads pulled off.

A spokesperson for Thirsk neighborhood policing team said: “Damaging items left at loved one’s graves is an appalling act — it is also a crime.

“This has been happening at Thirsk Cemetery over recent weeks.

“Predominantly, this is someone pulling the heads off flowers left at graves, which has caused a lot of upset for grieving families and friends.”

If you witness anything suspicious in the area or know who is responsible for this damage, call North Yorkshire Police on 101 quoting reference number 12220112182.
