Crews were hard at work Thursday morning trying to repair damage at a Malden cemetery after several graves were vandalized, including a veterans memorial statue that was toppled.

According to Forestdale Cemetery Superintendent Chris Rosa, 10 different crews were on cemetery grounds Thursday cleaning up the multiple acts of vandalism.

A Boston 25 News camera captured crews raising the topped veterans memorial up off the ground, attempting to restore it to its proper perch.
