The Orange County Sheriff’s Office in Central Florida say this trio traveled to cemeteries around the country to break into mausoleum niches and empty them of their valuables.

Now law enforcement agencies are urging people to check the cemeteries where their loved ones are interred. Twenty cases have been identified in Florida alone. "But detectives believe there could be many more," who just don’t realize they’ve been victimized yet, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office in Florida wrote in a post on X.
