A MAN has spoken of his disgust after graves belonging to his family were vandalised.
Michael Berry, 47, from Wrexham, said the effect on his family has been huge after discovering that his father’s and uncle’s graves at Pandy cemetery in Gwersyllt had been vandalised and items stolen from them.
Mr Berry said statues and ornaments that had been attached to the headstones on the graves, appeared to have been forcibly ripped off, including statues of Jesus and Mary and a bronze ornament of a carriage.
Mr Berry said: “Another lady approached me when I was at the cemetery and said she’d noticed grass had been ripped up on her mother’s grave, so it’s not just affected us.
“I think that more graves have been vandalised and people have just not spoken up about it.”
He added that the knock-on affects on his family life had been devastating.
“I wanted to bring my mother here on Mother’s Day but I couldn’t because it’s been vandalised and I don’t think she could deal with it,” he said.
“I’m quite depressed about it and I just want the items returned. I’ve been unable to sleep since it happened and it’s a shocking thing to happen which is getting to the whole family. We’ve a big family too so it’s affected a lot of people.”
Anybody with information should call North Wales Police on 101 quoting incident number U032172.
