TAMPA — A 50-year-old woman was accused of stealing items left on the grave sites of a cemetery.

The woman was reported by witnesses on Thursday night to be stealing flowers, stuffed animals, flags and other items left on grave sites at Myrtle Hill Memorial Park near Tampa, police said.

The witness watched the thief put the stolen items in her vehicle, which was parked next to a mausoleum. She walked away toward a fence. An officer found the woman looking toward the vehicle from a hiding spot behind the mausoleum.

Police said she provided several different names after being arrested. The woman was held in jail on bail of $6,750. She faces charges of grand theft, disturbing the contents of a grave, obstruction, criminal mischief and loitering and prowling. She is (most likely now was) an accountant at J & F Enterprises, according to jail records.
