Police reports say someone knocked over the markers in the historic Old Graveyard at South and Bedford streets, Carlisle, between late October and Saturday. A path of toppled tombstones can be seen running north to south in the cemetery. Other head stones throughout the graveyard were sporadically knocked over. While some stones are newer, others are so old the inscriptions cannot be read. The oldest damaged stone appeared to date to the 1880s.
Police say none of the stones appear to be damaged, although some are broken off their bases.

Among those giving statements were Middlesex Township Police Chief Barry Sherman and Sgt. Dick's application was subsequently approved and he picked up his permit about a week ago.
