Vandals Break Into Tombs in New Orleans
From Times Wire Reports
Vandals broke into at least 10 above-ground tombs in New Orleans, taking skulls from two coffins and putting them on top of the vaults, police said.
A visitor who saw that a metal casket had been pulled out of one tomb notified Greenwood Cemetery officials, and a check of the grounds found the rest of the vandalism, police spokesman Capt. Marlon Defillo said.
“It does not appear that any items or property were taken, nor any satanic ritual occurred,” Defillo said.
