Saugeen Shores police say cremated remains have been stolen during a break and enter.
Police say, during the overnight hours from Monday to Tuesday (December 13th to December 14th), unknown persons broke into the T.A. Brown Funeral Home at 510 Mill Street in Port Elgin.
According to police, while inside, the suspect (or suspects) removed two white cardboard boxes containing cremated remains.
Officers attended to investigate and located other items on a nearby property, but the cremated remains were not found.

Saugeen Shores Police are appealing to the public, especially those who live in the area, to check their properties for the missing containers.
Each set of cremated remains was in a white cardboard box with a black container inside.
Police say both affected families have been notified.
