Plants and flowers in the Croop Hill Cemetery in Addison Road had been thrown around and a number of statues and monuments have been damaged.

A woman visiting her father's grave discovered the damage.

Stephen Beasley, Parks and Cemeteries Manager for Rugby Borough Council, says the families are "understandably" very upset about the desecration.

"Any sort of action like that is always very distressing and especially in cemeteries of course, because people go there to mourn, to grieve and to think about families," said Mr Beasley.
