Livingston County authorities are investigating after more than two dozen flags were stolen from the catholic cemetery on the east side of Chillicothe.

Sheriff Steve Cox calls that “completely disrespectful.”

His office is seeking tips that could help recover the stolen property and arrest those responsible.

“It saddened us to take another report of theft from a cemetery,” Cox said. “Several months ago we worked with the Chillicothe Police and two other counties which had bronze vases stolen from area cemeteries.”

Suspects in that prior investigation have been charged and/or convicted.

Call the sheriff’s office in Livingston County if you have information that could help with the current investigation.
