Vandals steal World Word II memorial
THIEVES have stolen a bronze plaque in Beecroft which commemorated the end of World War II in the Pacific.

The incident occurred just days before the anniversary of Victory of the Pacific Day, which marks the day in August 1945 when the Allies declared victory over Japan ...

"It looks like a crowbar was used to rip the plaque off the memorial," Cr Berman said.

"It’s absolutely shocking that someone could be so disrespectful." ...

The war memorial is in full view of the Copeland Rd, Cr Berman said...

He said a spate of thefts of metal items in the Shire indicated they were being stolen for scrap metal...
Beecroft is rapidly being Asianised, but I'm sure that has nothing to do with it. This sort of crime happens always and everywhere, doesn't it?

File under: memorial of decline.
