Cemetery brass items stolen
KILCOY and surrounds residents are being urged to come forward with information following the recent theft of brass vases and reserved plaques from the Kilcoy Cemetery.
Somerset Councillor Tiara Hurley raised the matter during the Ordinary Meeting on Wednesday, July 23.
“The act of taking items from graves for personal gain is disgraceful and shows a troubling lack of respect for the deceased and their loved ones,” Cr Hurley said.
“This disrespectful act has understandably caused distress for many families, and our thoughts are with all those impacted.”
The matter has been reported to the Queensland Police Service (QPS).
“We encourage anyone with information to come forward,” Cr Hurley said.
“By working together, we can support the QPS in their efforts to ensure those responsible are held accountable for their actions.”
If you have information for police, contact Policelink by providing information using the online suspicious activity form 24hrs per day at www.police.qld.gov.au/reporting or call 131 444.
