Over a dozen tombstones were damaged in Delta over the weekend and the local police are asking for your help.

Vandalism in any form is unacceptable. Knocking over tombstones is a form that's been going on, well since there have been tombstones, and I don't get the thrill of it. In many occasions racism in the underlying motivation. Across the country, there are reports of different ethnic groups and their cemeteries being targeted by vandals. There's no indication that race played a role in this incident. Either way, it's a cowardly act.

Delta is 95 Rock's "city of license." What that means is that's where our broadcast originates from. Our broadcast tower is closer to Delta than Grand Junction. As part of our community service to the city, it's important that we share information when necessary.
