DESPICABLE thieves have stolen memorial items from a child’s grave.
They stole toys, diamond shaped solar lights and a 12-inch plastic fairy in a white dress with little flowers sitting with her knees in front of her.
PC Joe Thumpston said: “It is a sad day when someone would stoop so low and steal from a child’s grave.”
The items were taken between noon on Thursday, April 5 and 11am on Sunday, April 8 from the Colchester cemetery and crematorium in Mersea Road.
Anyone with information call PC Thumpston at Colchester police station on 101.
