Wayland Cemetery, Residence, Vandalized Several Times

Black, blue and brown spray paint was splashed on a residence, a construction trailer and a mausoleum at the Lakeview Cemetery this past week.

Police are investigating several cases of vandalism that occurred at this residence and construction trailer located on Millbrook Road and Michael Road.

The most significant damage, said police, happened at Lakeview Cemetery. At it, a granite mausoleum that was erected more than one hundred years ago as a Dean family burial vault was smothered in spray paint. The maintenance shed and a pentagram on the ground was also painted with the same blue paint.

The Department of Public Works has hired a contractor to remove the paint.

Police are asking anyone who may live in the vicinity of Lakeview Cemetery to report any suspicious activity or persons they may see entering the cemetery, especially at night.

Anyone with any knowledge of these crimes is asked to contact the Wayland Police Anonymous Tip Line at 508-358-1726.
