APPROXIMATELY 100 BRONZE VASES WERE STOLEN FROM HILLCREST CEMETERY IN CENTRALIA, ILLINOIS. THEY WERE STOLEN FOR SCRAP METAL.(PHOTO).

 Approximately 100 bronze vases were stolen from Hillcrest Cemetery in Centralia, Illinois. They were stolen for scrap metal.


Between mid-August and August 21st at least one individual (possibly two) stole approximately 100 bronze vases off of the final resting places of many individuals laid to rest at the cemetery. The police are aware and there is allegedly one man in custody. I have received two names of individuals that might be involved but I am waiting to release the names until police confirm the names. 


One family member that reached out to us informed us that the bronze vases were stolen so they "could be used for scrap metal". 


Section 12 of the Hillcrest cemetery is the area where all of the vases were stolen. One woman that reached out shared that her mother and father's grave were one of the final resting places that were stolen from. She also had other relatives that had bronze vases stolen from their resting site. 


Our thoughts are with everyone affected. 


We will update.
