Imagine stealing from dead people. Two would-be thieves tried doing just that, but they were caught by some living, breathing police officers.
According to KRON, California’s Antioch Police Department reports they apprehended two criminals who tried stealing a utility vehicle and gardening tools from a local cemetery. Police picked up on the crime as it was going down because they noticed some “suspicious activity” nearby — as in an SUV towing a trailer with the cemetery’s utility vehicle in it.
Authorities investigated the SUV, and confirmed the vehicle it was towing and some tools inside were stolen property.
Officers also discovered the perps had cut off the locks to the front gate.
The two suspects face theft-related charges and have been sent to jail.
