Halver: Metal memorial plaques stolen from cemetery grave

Unknown perpetrators have stolen two valuable metal memorial plaques from a family grave at the Im Lömmelscheid cemetery in Halver. The theft has caused significant distress to the bereaved family, who noted that the items hold irreplaceable sentimental value far exceeding their material worth.

The exact timeframe of the theft is difficult to determine. Family members last saw the plaques in May 2026, and the loss was only discovered during a subsequent visit. Criminal police in the Märkischer Kreis district have launched an investigation and are seeking witnesses who may have observed suspicious activity in the cemetery area.
