Police are investigating the thefts of dozens of vases from gravesites at Hillcrest Cemetery in Baker.
Officers got the call on Monday about the stolen vases in the cemetery's Garden of the Oaks section. The flowers in the vases had often been dumped out alongside the graves.
Investigators believe the vases may have been stolen to be sold as scrap metal, since each one is worth about $300.
Police are contacting affected families who didn't know about the thefts.
