Dozens of tombstones were knocked down or broken in two Longueuil cemeteries over the past few days and police are asking for the public’s help finding the perpetrators.
In a statement posted to Facebook, Longueuil police said more than 60 markers were damaged in the St-Antoine-de-Padoue cemetery between Nov. 24 and Dec. 4.
Tombstones in the Cimitiere Regional St-Maxime were also vandalized.
No group has claimed responsibility and no arrests have yet been made.
Police ask anyone with information to call 911 or 450-646-8500.
"I can only imagine if it was my father's tombstone that was knocked off, I'd be pretty upset," said Longueuil police spokesperson Jean-Pierre Voutsinos. "That's why we're really hoping people will call us and give us information to bring the perpetrators to justice."
