A London woman is hoping to identify a thief who has repeatedly been stealing flowers from her mother's grave.
Marg Medeiros' mother died on Easter weekend this year and she was buried at St. Peters Cemetery in London shortly after.
She says it was soon after that things started disappearing.
"At first it was little mementos, things like plaques and solar flowers being taken and we just figured it was life in the cemetery, people walk through and take things they like and so be it," she tells BlackburnNews.com
The family then started planting flowers in June, only to find they had been ripped out each time they visited the grave.

"Right away, someone started pulling them out from the ground so I contacted the cemetery ... they said it's not happening anywhere else so it must be personal ... My mother was a wonderful woman, 86-years-old. I don't know if it's a personal attack on us, but it's working if it is," says Medeiros.
At this point, at least 12 sets of flowers and other sentimental items have been stolen from the gravesite.
"My brother made plaques that said 'mom' with her birth and death date, they've stolen two of those and the third one they threw in the garbage. The garden right nextdoor has full flowers and really nice statues, you know. I just wondered 'how does that work?'," she asks through tears.
Medeiros says they went to the police and investigators told the family they needed video of the alleged crimes.
The family set up a hunting camera on a nearby tree and captured the footage above.
They are hoping to identify the woman in hopes of figuring out why this keeps happening.
