A theft has occurred, targeting markers that honor veterans. These markers, made of bronze, are two feet by one foot in size. They were taken from plots at two cemeteries.

The police department is investigating, checking scrap yards in the region and beyond. New security measures are being added to the cemeteries.

Replacement of the stolen markers is still being worked out by the city and a veterans organization. The theft was discovered during routine grounds maintenance, but details of the replacement plan are not yet clear.
