Homicide investigation unfolding at Burnaby tow yard after body found in vehicle
Police remained on scene at a South Burnaby towing lot Thursday morning after human remains were found inside a vehicle on Wednesday.
Burnaby RCMP says its frontline officers were originally called to Mundie’s Towing and Recovery on Thorne Avenue, not far from Marine Way, for reports of human remains in a vehicle.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has since been called in.
