Headstones vandalized at Salem cemetery
SALEM - Vandals toppled 11 gravestones at Pine Grove Cemetery overnight Wednesday.
The vandalism was discovered Wednesday morning by Salem Department of Public Works employees. By late afternoon, all of the gravestones were righted thanks to Colizzi Memorials Inc. of Methuen, Mass., which made the repairs at no cost, according to the Eagle-Tribune of Andover, Mass.
Detectives, who processed the scene, recovered evidence including fingerprints from one of the headstones, police said. Authorities believe kids or teens may be responsible for the vandalism.
