Police have arrested a 46-year-old woman after headstones were damaged at an urupā in Raupunga.
A police spokesperson said they were not looking for anyone else in relation to the incident in northern Hawke's Bay, near Wairoa.
They appreciated the support of the Raupunga community in coming forward with information, the spokesperson said.
"Police acknowledges the distress caused to whānau and community members by the damage."
Kaye Wesley, whose father and siblings were amongst her relatives buried there, was on her way to a funeral when she was confronted by the site of toppled headstones on Saturday.
