HARTFORD, CT (WFSB) -

Approximately forty gravestones have been turned over at the Congregation Israel cemetery.

Located at the corner of Waverly and Tower Ave, the vandalism was reported by a congregation member who regularly visits his son's grave.

Many of the headstones were secured to their bases and could cost over $20,000 to properly repair.

One monument stood over 6' tall.

Police have no suspects at this time and extra patrol is being directed to the area.
