Nanaimo police are investigating the theft of up to 14 bronze vases over the past two weeks from grave sites at Cedar Valley Memorial Gardens in Cedar.
The first theft was reported May 12 and the most recent on May 17.
“These thefts are extremely disturbing,” said Reserve Const. Gary O’Brien. “First and foremost, the families who purchased the vases then placed them next to their loved ones are simply outraged that someone would resort to stealing something as personal as this.”
He said bronze has no real commercial value, so the thieves won’t profit from taking the vases.
The vases, which are nine to 12 inches tall and weigh about two pounds, are set beside the graves and filled with flowers or other items.
No suspects have been identified in the thefts.
Anyone with information on the thefts is asked to call Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345.
