Cochrane RCMP as well as members of Special Tactical Operations will be scouring the area south of Highway 8/ Highway 22 intersection near Redwood Meadows today (May 12).

RCMP say they responded to a report of found bones yesterday (May 11) just after 12:30 pm. While RCMP believe the bones are to be human, the possibility is still under investigation pending results of the Medical Examiner's examination.

While Police Dog Services searched the area yesterday, RCMP will be back on site today searching for evidence to assist the instigation and where the bones originated from.

RCMP are asking the public to stay away from their area while they continue to investigate the area and warn motorists that traffic in the area may be affected.

More details will be released once information has been confirmed by RCMP.

If you have any information call the Cochrane detachment 403-851-8000 or Crime Stoppers 1-800-222-8477.
