Police Scotland have launched an appeal for information after a number of items were stolen from a graveside at Brechin cemetery.
The crime, described by a Police Scotland spokesperson as “particularly upsetting” took place between 1pm on August 17 and 3.45pm on August 18.
The spokesperson said: “The items, a metal and ceramic ornamental rose, two plastic jars in the shape of footballs with solar lights in them, and a small model bus were fixed in place and would have required to be unscrewed to remove them.
“They are not hugely valuable in monetary terms, but are obviously extremely important to the family of the deceased.”
