Police in Abbotsford are investigating after officers found what are believed to be human remains inside a vehicle that was set on fire in Sumas Mountain Regional Park.
They say officers responded to a report of a vehicle fire on Friday around 2:45 p.m. along the Forest Service Road in the park and arrived to find the red 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander ablaze.
Police say firefighters extinguished the fire, which is when officers found the remains.
They say the department’s major crimes unit is working with the BC Coroners Service to identify the individual, and are transitioning the investigation over to the RCMP’s Integrated Homicide Investigation Team.
