Vandals Hit Historic Cemetery in Coweta County

The Coweta County Sheriff's Office is seeking help from the public to help identify people responsible for about $100,000 worth of vandalism in the historic Tranquil Cemetery near Turin, located between Newnan and Griffin. Police believe the vandalism happened between Saturday night and early Tuesday. Investigator Elaine Jordan said authorities found an estimated 50 graves--about one-third of the cemetery--desecrated.

The cemetery is located in a secluded area with graves dating back to the early 1800's.
