Police in Auburn are investigating after vandals toppled 19 headstones at a central Massachusetts Jewish cemetery.
Chief Andrew Sluckis estimated the cost of the damage at the Worcester Hebrew Cemetery discovered earlier this week at $15,000.
Of the 19 headstones knocked over, two were cracked in half.
Sluckis says some evidence has been recovered at the scene.
Jordan Robbins, co-chairman of running the cemetery for the Jewish Federation of Central Massachusetts, tells The Telegram & Gazette that the federation is offering a $500 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
The cemetery was also vandalized around the Memorial Day weekend, when eight headstones were knocked over.
