Police are asking the public for help after a burglar stole heirloom jewelry and emptied a family urn at a home near Queen Street East and Neville Park Boulevard.
Witnesses reported seeing a bald man in a black suit and sunglasses enter the rear window of the house at about 4 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 22.
The burglar ransacked the bedrooms, stole jewelry, and emptied an urn containing the ashes of an elderly widow’s husband.
