(KMZA)--Charges are expected to be filed against five teenagers in connection with the extensive vandalism of a historic Marshall County cemetery.

The Marshall County Sheriff’s Department says vandals struck the Pecenka Cemetery, located about three miles southwest of Bremen, twice September 7th through the 10th.

Sheriff Dan Hargrave said more than 30 tombstones were damaged or destroyed.   He estimated the total damage at up to $90,000.

The Marshall County Sheriff’s Department was assisted by the Nemaha County Sheriff’s Department in its investigation.

The Maryville Advocate reports the small rural cemetery was established by several Bohemian and Czech families in the 19th century and is still in use today.
