They say it was dropped off at a thrift store in West Lincoln, with remains inside

The NRPS is trying to identify the person who donated an urn with cremated remains inside to the West Lincoln Community Care Thrift Store in the Town of West Lincoln.

Police received the call on Monday but believe the sealed wooden urn was dropped off at a donation bay sometime between November 19th and 20th.

Police do not know if the cremated remains are human or animal.

The urn has a six digit number (528395) marked on the bottom of the lid which is believed to be an identification number.

In an attempt to return the remains to their rightful owner police are asking anyone with information to call them.
