Investigators say someone is stealing flowers from gravesites in Franklin and Macon County. They say there have been fifteen incidents at a handful of cemeteries since December, many at Woodlawn Cemetery. Fresh flowers have even been swiped on the same day as a burial. Authorities think someone is stealing silk flowers to sell at flea markets or on E-Bay. Theyre not sure of the motivation and have few leads. If you have any information, contact Franklin Police or the Macon County Sheriff's Office.
