A woman has been arrested on suspicion of theft and criminal damage at Teddington Cemetery, including destroying a photo of a baby boy.
The 56-year-old was arrested in connection with overnight thefts that took place on May 8 and June 29, as well as criminal damage overnight on May 24 and June 21.
The grave of Patrick James O’Mara-Roberts, who died aged just two in 1994, was surrounded by ornaments including a small bear, a gnome and a cupcake.
Ms O’Mara was left “sickened” when she discovered the ornaments stolen and found a picture of her baby boy had been severely damaged.
The arrested woman has been bailed to return to a west London police station in early September.
Officers from the Fulwell and Hampton Hill Safer Neighbourhoods Team continue their investigations.
