Families ‘devastated’ as gravestones vandalised

Families say they are “devastated” after a vandal rampage has seen scores of gravestones demolished at a Flintshire cemetery.

Headstones at Connah’s Quay Cemetery were kicked over in what has been described as a “trail of destruction” by one councillor.

David Richardson said he witnessed families “with tears in their eyes” as they discovered what happened at the scene.

North Wales Police has appealed for help to catch those responsible.

“It’s not only disgusting, it’s upsetting,” said Richardson, who represents the Golftyn ward in Connah’s Quay.

“I just don’t see why you would want to do that.”

Richardson said he was told about the vandalism on Saturday morning, when one of the families affected contacted him.

“When I first arrived there I could see half-a-dozen people stood at graves. It upset me to see family members with tears in their eyes,” he added.
