BELTON, MO (KCTV) -
About 45 headstones were toppled over at the Belton Cemetery.
Volunteers learned about the damage Monday morning after a walker discovered the damage during a morning stroll. Cemetery officials said they are shocked and 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.
