Two arrested after hundreds of cemetery thefts across Ontario

Two people have been charged in a spate of mausoleum and cemetery thefts in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area and the Niagara region. 

Halton police say they investigated more than 300 thefts over the last two months in which thieves targeted jewellery, decorative cremation urns, keepsakes and other valuables.

Police say eight mausoleums and cemeteries were targeted during daytime hours, and thieves tricked property managers by posing as grieving family members wishing to tour the premises.
