Copper wire thieves are not only stealing power lines but also copper candleholders that are placed on the graves at the Chalan Kanoa Cemetery. <\/p>\n
Celina Kaipat told Saipan Tribune last night that thieves stole two candleholders made of copper from the grave of her father at the Chalan Kanoa Cemetery last Sunday.<\/p>\n
Kaipat also complained that before all Soul\u2019s Day, solar lights that they put at the grave of her husband at the Tanapag Cemetery were also stolen.<\/p>\n
Kaipat also disclosed that her sister-in-law, attorney Jacinta Kaipat, posted in her Facebook account similar incidents at Chalan Kanoa Cemetery.<\/p>\n
She said they already reported the matter to police.<\/p>\n
Asked about the incidents, Department of Public Safety spokesman Jason Tarkong said he heard about the matter and that he is going to verify it.<\/p>\n
Jacinta Kaipat posted in her Facebook account that on Sunday morning family members were dismayed to discover that a thief or thieves dismantled and stole the copper candleholders from her brother Cris\u2019 grave. <\/p>\n
Jacinta Kaipat said if that wasn\u2019t bad enough, thieves also stole the same copper candle holders from their parents\u2019 and brother Saturn\u2019s graves as well.<\/p>\n
As a matter of fact, the lawyer said, a number of other graves were also robbed of copper candleholders.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow disgusting is this?\u201d Jacinta Kaipat said.<\/p>\n
The lawyer urged anyone who has information about these thefts at the cemetery to call NMI Crime Stoppers at 234-7272. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
