abandoned urn in surrey
Police are trying to solve the rather bizarre mystery of an abandoned urn, complete with ashes.
Back in the summer someone contacted Surrey Police to say that a man in a suit had left the urn on top of a rubbish bin outside Sainsburys in Guildford High Street and then just walked away.
The urn was brought back to Guildford Police Station where officers have been trying to find out who it might belong to ever since.
The urn is burgundy in colour with gold trim and has a gold rose motif on the front.
“There is no identification on the urn and no one has come forward to report it missing or stolen" said Graham Lane from Surrey Police. It really is a mystery as to why someone would leave an urn full of ashes on a rubbish bin and we are hoping that someone will recognise it and contact us with information so we can return it to the owner.”
