Arrests over UK cemetery desecration
Two men were arrested last week in connection to the violation of a Jewish cemetery in central England.

More than 30 gravestones were smashed or overturned in the Nottingham Road cemetery in Derby on 20 June, causing an estimated ?30,000 worth of damage.

The incident, which is being treated as racially-motivated, was discovered by police at around 2am that night after they received calls from local residents complaining of a disturbance.

Although only ten Jews are believed to live in Derby, many more are buried at the gravesite.

A spokesman for Derby police said: “Two 22-year-old men have been arrested on suspicion of racially motivated criminal damage.”
