RCMP find human remains on property in Springfield
Police say 'very suspicious' discovery now part of a major crime investigation
RCMP are investigating a "very suspicious" situation after human remains were found Saturday on a property in Springfield, N.S.
Cpl. Guillaume Tremblay, spokesperson for the RCMP, said Monday that Annapolis District RCMP visited a property on Hastings Road on Saturday and found human remains.
He said police don't believe there's a wider risk to the public.
Springfield is on Highway 10 near New Germany, about 45 kilometres northwest of Bridgewater.
Tremblay said the search is part of an ongoing investigation and finding the human remains was "very suspicious."
The Southwest Nova Major Crime Unit is investigating, along with the local RCMP and the Nova Scotia Medical Examiner Service.
An RCMP news release issued later Monday afternoon said the remains are of one person.
