Appeal following burglary at Leicester cemetery
Officers are appealing for information following a burglary at Gilroes Cemetery.
The incident happened between 3pm on Friday May 15 and 7am on Monday May 18, 2009 when thieves broke into a storage shed within the grounds on Groby Road and stole a quantity of gardening equipment estimated around 700 in total.
The items that were taken include two lawnmowers, Echo strimmers, two generators, a Solo Hand Held blower, plus various hand tools.

We are currently liaising with the cemetery to prevent further burglaries from happening and would like to appeal to anyone who may have witnessed something in connection with this incident.
Perhaps you saw someone acting suspiciously near the grounds or maybe you saw someone loading gardening equipment into a vehicle? If you have any information regarding these burglaries, no small how may small it may seem to you, please get in touch.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact PC 4463 Janine Hardy on Leicester (0116) 222 2222, follow the instructions to leave a message for a police officer and when prompted key in the officer's identification number 4463.
