HOUSTON – A search was under way Monday for seven people accused of stealing from a graveyard, The Houston Police Department and Harris County Sheriff's Office said.

Around 400 brass vases were stolen from grave markers at Brookside Memorial Park Cemetery in northeast Houston during the weekend of Nov. 5, investigators said.

The vandalism has broken the hearts of families visiting the graves of their loved ones this holiday season.

"A lot of the times when they went up to the gravesites that had the vases missing, the flowers that were inside them were just thrown to the ground, willy-nilly," said Lt. Jeff Stauber, with the Harris County Sheriff's Office.
