AN INFORMAL business in Colville is allegedly selling “repurposed” headstones that were stolen from cemeteries across Kimberley.
Broken headstones at Gladstone Cemetery.
Local community crime-fighting organisation Operation Fiela inspected the business, operating from a shack, this week and questioned the owner, who allegedly admitted to removing inscriptions from the headstones using a grinder.
He told Operation Fiela that he had been operating the business, which is not registered under any official name, since last year.
Operation Fiela chairperson Thabiso Louw said they inspected the premises in Colville after receiving a tip-off.
