Alleged tomb-raiding trio arrested in cross-country cemetery spree 'to steal from the dead,' police say

Three alleged tomb raiders from Indiana have been arrested for " disturbing thefts from cemetery niches containing cremated remains" across the "eastern half of the United States," authorities say.

Now law enforcement agencies are urging people to check the cemeteries where their loved ones are interred.

Twenty cases have been identified in Florida alone.

"But detectives believe there could be many more," who just don’t realize they’ve been victimized yet, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office in Florida wrote in a post on X .

MORE THAN 50 BODIES FOUND DECOMPOSING INSIDE CHICAGO FUNERAL HOME AFTER NEIGHBORS COMPLAINED OF 'STENCH' "What a horrible person you are if you decide to steal from the dead," a sheriff’s office spokesman said in a video asking for help identifying the thieves.

"These three people are going to cemeteries, breaking into deceased people's niches, and stealing their family heirlooms." Within days, Drake Lee Milam, 33, and Angela Garrett, 52, were arrested in Indiana, court records show.

And Porsche Bancroft, 32, turned herself in at Florida’s Seminole County Jail.

In court records, Bancroft was identified as the girlfriend of Milam and the daughter of Garrett.

Her arraignment is scheduled for Sept.

22 in Sanford, Florida.

And a trial has been set for Feb.

8.

Milam and Garrett will be extradited to Florida to face charges, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.

But their court documents were not accessible, a representative with the Seminole County Clerk of Court told Fox News Digital.
