The rewards initially established earlier this year in February, expired in May.
The historic Lincoln Memorial Park Cemetery is the resting place of many notable figures, including James Anderson Jr. the first African-American US Marine recipient of the Medal of Honor. .The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday will consider re-establishing a pair of $20,000 reward offers for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for vandalizing two cemeteries in Compton and Carson, stealing bronze plaques and memorial markers.
“The cemetery includes numerous prominent figures and many local military veterans going as far back as the Civil War and the Spanish-American War,” according to the motion. “The property owner estimates the financial loss to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.”
