Authorities are offering a two-thousand dollar reward for information leading to the capture of the suspects who vandalized a Cass County cemetery.

About 45 headstones were toppled at the cemetery in Belton. Volunteers learned about the damage Monday morning.

 

Cemetery officials say it’s caused needless pain for families.

“I just wonder why? What is going on in our world that would make someone want to do that to somebody,” Elmer Larkey said.

More than 6,000 were buried at the cemetery, including 2,000 veterans.

There is a $2,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest. Call the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS or Belton police.
