The tomb raiders have struck again, this time vandalizing a tomb within the La Belle Alliance Cemetery, on the Essequibo Coast.

The family members explained that efforts were being made to have the police contacted. Gail Warner said that she could think of no reason why someone will want to vandalize her dead mother’s tomb. She also explained that the deceased was buried with no material possessions that may be of great value.
In September 2018, three tombs were vandalized within the said cemetery. During that period the heads of the three corpses were removed.
