Just before 2 p.m. on Saturday, July 7, 2018, it was reported that seven funeral plaques were stolen from the Northern Lights Cemetery (15203 Campbell Road) sometime between Tuesday, July 3 and Friday, July 6, 2018.
All seven plaques were allegedly removed from the Military Memorial section of cemetery and many of the plaques date back to the 1980s. Police are working with the cemetery to identify exactly which families have been impacted by this theft.
“It is very disheartening that someone would go to the effort of removing these plaques which are obviously of great sentimental value to the families who had them installed in the cemetery,” says Const. Conrad Whetstone with Northwest Division.
“Please contact police if you have information about the whereabouts of these plaques or the individual(s) responsible for the theft.”
Anyone with information regarding this theft is encouraged to call the Edmonton Police Service at 780-423-4567 or the Edmonton Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or submit your tip online at www.p3tips.com/250.
