FORT FRANCES, Ont. - A 27-year-old woman has been arrested and charged following the desecration of cemetery monuments in Fort Frances.
Late last week, the Rainy River detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police were investigating after approximately 50 gravestones at the Fort Frances Cemetery were knocked over. Some of the gravestones were more than 100 years old.
As a result of the investigation, the 27-year-old woman of Rainy River was arrested and charged with mischief over $5,000.
She was released on a promise to appear and her next scheduled court date is Dec. 17 at the Fort Frances Ontario Court of Justice.
The investigation is ongoing and police say further charges are pending. The value of the damages to the monuments is yet to be determined.
