---------------

On Sunday, September 14, 2014, Middletown Police were called to investigate a theft of a statute placed at a grave site at Calvary Cemetery. The cemetery is located at #307 Bow Lane. The family of the deceased recently placed a camera near the grave site of their loved one to identify the person(s) vandalizing the gravestone. What was captured on video from Saturday, September 13th, 2014, was a white female operating a white SUV who stops, exits her vehicle, picks up the statute, and places it in her vehicle. The female stands in front of the gravesite momentarily, walks past it, and then returns to her vehicle to leave the area with the stolen statute.

The statute of the angel is valued at approximately $100.00, but the sentimental value is priceless. Middletown Police asks for the public’s assistance in identifying this female. Officer Robert Kraeger can be reached at 860-638-4000 x310 or at rkraeger@middletownctpolice.com.
