ELSMERE, Ky. (FOX19) - The Elsmere Police Department is investigating vandalism at the Mary E. Smith Memorial Cemetery.
Police said vandals spray-painted anarchist symbols on signage at the entrance of the historic Black cemetery and on its tombstones.
Elsmere Police Chief Joe Maier said vandals toppled approximately 30 grave headstones from their bases in early December and defaced some of the headstones with black spray paint.
Detective Eric Higgins says based on the type of vandalism used, it leads him to think it was a younger person behind it.
