Halton Regional Police investigators have laid 18 new charges in connection with a string of more than 600 thefts from mausoleums throughout the Greater Toronto Area.
The daytime thefts from cremation niches in Burlington, Oakville, Toronto, and Niagara region cemeteries took place over several months, Halton police said in a recent social media post. Necklaces, bracelets, watches, and other items were stolen along with decorative urns and other valuables.
