Security camera installed at crematorium after thefts from children's graves

Investigations have been taking place at the Underhill Lane site since the crimes were reported and a domehawk camera has now been installed.

Councillor Steve Evans, cabinet member for city services at Wolverhampton council, described the thefts as 'despicable' and said staff were now being extra vigilant.

The crimes happened earlier this month.

Bus driver Rob Taylor, aged 34 and his garden centre worker wife Nicola, 35, from Willenhall, were targeted and Mr Taylor described the thieves as 'the lowest of the low'.

Meanwhile, Rhiannon Chamberlain, 32, from Brookfield Road, Codsall, buried her son Ellis Chamberlain in April this year and also fell victim to the thieves.

The recent thefts come just a year after patrols had to be stepped up after the same site was targeted.

Police have asked anyone who sees suspicious activity to call 101
