(Center Township, PA) Flag holders placed at veterans’ graves in a local cemetery have been reported stolen, and authorities say it is not the first time such thefts have occurred in Beaver County.
The thefts were reported at St. Joseph’s Cemetery in Center Township.
The flag holders are provided by the Beaver County Department of Veterans Affairs and are placed at veterans’ graves ahead of Memorial Day.
Beaver County District Attorney Nate Bible said the holders are made of brass or bronze, making them a target for thieves seeking to sell them to scrap yards or pawn shops.
At this time, authorities have no information on who took the flag holders from St. Joseph’s Cemetery. However, Bible said those responsible could face multiple criminal charges if identified and apprehended.
Anyone whose flag holder was stolen, or who has information about the thefts or potential suspects, is encouraged to contact their local police department.
