Police say the officer spotted stolen items, including brass fixtures, inside the unoccupied sedan.
A 39-year-old from Oxford County was arrested and charged with mischief by destroying or damaging property, possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000 and theft under $5,000.
Thefts have been reported at other cemeteries in Norfolk County since last week.
Police have said the thefts appear to target items with brass and bronze, including nameplates and screws, and an urn was stolen in one case.
