Police are appealing for information after a thief stole a stone memorial from a grave in Morecambe’s Torrisholme cemetery.
The two-foot high bible, carved from granite, was taken from the cemetery in the Westgate area of the town between 1st – 6th January.
The £1,000 bible has a gold inscription from the gospel of John on one side and a personal tribute on the other.
“It’s possible that the memorial has been taken because of its high value,” said PC Sean Brady, Morecambe Police, said: “This is a heartless crime and it has obviously been very upsetting for the family involved. I would urge anyone with any information to come forward.”
