Last updated 5th Mar 2026
Detectives investigating a case of suspected grave tampering in a Rotherham village have made a further arrest.
This is after a burial place at All Saints in Laughton-en-le-Morthen was damaged earlier this year.
A 29-year-old man has now been questioned on suspicion of conspiracy to commit criminal damage and released on bail.
It follows the arrests of two 25-year-old men and a 53-year-old man in February on suspicion of causing a public nuisance and conspiracy to commit criminal damage.
The church yard was closed to the public for eight days while police conducted enquiries, but it has since reopened.
Officers are appealing for anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area of Rotherham Lane between the evening of January 31, and the morning of February 1 to get in touch.
