Kerbing targeted in graveside thefts

Rural crime is at an all-time high, and some criminals perpetrating it have gone to an all-time low - stealing kerbing from family graves.

People living in a rural community in Co Cork are considering setting up special patrols at their local graveyard to combat the stone-hearted thefts.

Kerbing from two different plots has been stolen from St John’s graveyard at Lisgoold, near Midleton.
