Extra police patrols have been added in Caister following reports of criminal damage inside a graveyard.

Flowers and pots were reportedly thrown about inside Caister Cemetery. 

Displays from Caister in Bloom were damaged between Wednesday, July 12 and Thursday, July 13 and again during last weekend.

Caister and Coastal Villages beat manager PC Chris Martin said: "We’ve been made aware of some criminal damage that has taken place in Caister cemetery over a number of evenings, flowers and pots were thrown about during both incidents.

"We’ll be conducting extra patrols in the area, and have installed some signage to discourage further antisocial behaviour."

There have also been reports of canna lilies stolen from Caister in Bloom displays.
