Three teenagers have been charged after more than 60 gravestones were desecrated at the Catholic and Church of England sections of Bathurst cemetery in the central tablelands of NSW.
Police arrested two 15-year-old boys and a 14-year-old girl on Saturday and charged them with destroying and damaging property.
The three were given conditional bail to appear at a later date in the children's court.

Dating back to 1886, the 66 gravestones had been recently restored by a local volunteer group.
