More than 100 headstones were toppled at a historic Jewish cemetery in Philadelphia.
The groundskeeper of Adath Jeshurun Cemetery arrived around 6 a.m. Thursday to the burial ground along Bridge Street in the city�s Frankford section to find dozens of grave markers knocked down.
The vandals knocked down 124 headstones, but didn’t leave any marking or graffiti, said Gibson.
Some graves on the 12-acre property date back 160 years and there are only a few new burials each year now, said Gibson.
Anyone with information on the vandalism is asked to contact Philadelphia Police.
