They have taken tributes left by grieving relatives at the St Peter and St Paul Church Cemetery in Tasley, on at least two occasions.

PCSO Mal Goddard said: "Although these thefts have been of items with little financial value, the emotional upset that has been caused to the relatives has been terrible."

The first theft took place in late October 2015 and the most recent took place on New Year's Eve.

If you have any information regarding these incidents, or have seen anybody hanging around the area of the cemetery, call 101 and quote incident reference 0478S 311215. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111 or at crimestoppers-uk.org
