The Council Bluffs Police Department have arrested several people in connection to stealing more than 800 memorial vases from cemeteries across Omaha and Council Bluffs.
Police said someone called in a tip when they saw a vehicle with multiple memorial vases drive by a scrap metal recycler.
According to investigators, two former Westlawn-Hillcrest Cemetery employees started stealing vases in July. They were working with six other people to scrap the vases for money.
The total money loss is more than $100,000, officials said.
