The Union County Sheriff said that one cross monument has been recovered after several of them were stolen from a Union County cemetery.

Sheriff David Taylor said the cross was recovered from an area scrap dealer in Union County on Friday.

Taylor said a person working at the scrap yard saw FOX Carolina's coverage of the cemetery theft and notified the sheriff's office.

Union County deputies said sometime within the past month, a thief or thieves went into the Flat Rock Cemetery in Jonesville and stole two of the metal monuments near grave sites for Confederate veterans.

Rebecca Gault, who has family buried at the cemetery, said she believes the monuments were stolen sometime between monthly visits her family makes to the cemetery.
