“Although the remains have not yet been identified, they are believed to be from the same origin,” Surrey RCMP said in a media release.

Mounties say the areas around both discoveries were cordoned off and processed by forensics teams.

The detachment’s serious crime unit and the BC Coroners Service are both investigating.
