A pensioner has been charged in connection with a series of thefts at a north-east cemetery stretching back four years.
The high number of thefts are said to have happened at Elgin Cemetery between 2016 and 2020.
A woman, 78, was arrested, charged and interviewed on Sunday.
Elgin Community Officer, Constable Jamie Dey, said: “I would like to thank members of the public who assisted us with our inquiries.
“This type of incident was particularly distressing for the relatives involved and I am glad that this inquiry has been brought to a successful conclusion for those concerned.”
A report is to be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.
