London police are asking for the public’s help to locate a stolen pickup truck carrying the ashes of the owner’s parents.

Police say the owner was unaware the truck was stolen until Friday but that it was likely taken from a parking lot on Picton Street between March 8 and March 11.

The black 2018 Nissan Titan pickup truck, plated AZ81293, was involved in a hit and run on March 11.

Police say a follow-up investigation into the original collision determined that the vehicle was stolen.

The pickup truck described as having black rims, a tonneau cover, and black bug deflector.

Two matching white “angel-shaped” urns containing the ashes of the owner’s parents were left in the vehicle because the owner was in the process of moving to London, and had yet to move the property from the truck.
