FOXTRAP, N.L. — The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary confirmed that human remains were found along T’Railway near Foxtrap, Conception Bay South Saturday morning. 

The RNC’s major crime unit, in consultation with the Office of Chief Medical Examiner, determined the partial skeletal remains are quite old and therefore are not believed to be related to any current missing person cases.

Police also aren’t concerned about any public safety risk.

The investigation is ongoing and police ask that anyone with information contact them at 729-8000 or through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or anonymously at nlcrimestoppers.com.
