Police are still near the shore of Lake Ontario, where a skull was first found on the weekend

We now know why police have been seen swarming over an area in Niagara on the Lake.

They say they were called Sunday afternoon to find a human skull had been found, near Read Road and the shore of Lake Ontario.

Police secured the area, and yesterday they found full skeletal remains, but due to the state of decomposition, police can't say much more at this time.

However, they are treating this as suspicious, and the homicide unit has taken over.

Police add they'll be there for a while as they do more thorough searches of the area.
