CPD Blue Catches Suspects in Cemetery Vandalism
Coeur d’Alene Police say an adult and several juveniles vandalized the city’s Riverview Cemetery early Sunday morning, breaking flower stands and plaques marking Veteran’s graves and littering a memorial area with broken beer bottles. Officers responded to the cemetery at 1001 N. Lincoln Way just before 4 a.m. Sunday and found “almost every ornament, flower, wind chime, religious symbol, American flag and flower stand” in the cemetery was broken or knocked over. Witnesses reported seeing a half dozen juveniles running through the cemetery, kicking headstones and throwing beer bottles, according to Coeur d’Alene police said.
