Heartless vandals pushed over 20 headstones at a West Lothian Cemetery.
West Lothian Council is appealing for help to find out who carried out the vandalism at Whitburn's Manse Road Cemetery which will cost over £3000 to fix.
A total of 20 headstones were pushed over between 12pm on Tuesday, July 19 and 10am on Wednesday, July 20.
None of headstones were significantly damaged, and arrangements have already been made to have them all reinstated as soon as possible at a cost of over £3,600.
Executive councillor for the environment and sustainability Tom Conn said: “It’s absolutely appalling that anyone would push over headstones like this.
“It is an incredibly thoughtless act that could be extremely upsetting for the families involved and the local community.
“We would appeal to anyone with information to come forward to the council or the police, to prevent such incidents taking place in the future.”
Anyone with information on this can either call the council on 01506 280000 or Police Scotland on 101 using reference PS -20220720-1351.
