MOGADORE, Ohio -- Police in Mogadore are investigating a crime Tuesday that some say is unforgivable.
According to NewsChannel5, someone vandalized a village cemetery over the weekend.
More than 100 monument markers were toppled, damaged or
destroyed Friday night or early Saturday at Greenwood Cemetery.
Family members were devastated. Some even tried replacing the heavy
stones. Others looked on in disbelief.
Cemetery directors said this isn't
the first time something like this has happened.
Years ago vandals reportedly struck, but not to this extent. Even
veteran stones, dating back to the civil war, were left on their side.
Mogadore Police want to hear from you if you have any
information in this case. Call (330) 628-4896.
