A brazen thief who stole fresh flowers from a dead schoolboy's grave broke down in tears as she was jailed. Leanne Slater, 39, snuck into a cemetery in Stockton, County Durham, last year and nicked the flowers from the grave of a 14-year-old.
Kieran Dixon tragically passed away in 2012 and was being visited by loved ones to mark the ten-year anniversary of his passing. Grieving mother Donna and her family laid down flowers and shared stories to pay tribute, reports TeesideLive.
The mother was devastated to learn that later that afternoon, on June 7, 2022, Slater, who is said to be a drug addict, stole three red and white bouquets from the graveyard. The crook was caught on CCTV carrying the flowers around as she left the cemetery.
