Thieves snort dead dog Charlie's ashes
Burglars tried to snort the contents of a bag marked "Charlie" when they broke into a house, but the light-coloured powder was the ashes of the homeowner's dog.
The bag, alongside an urn, contained the ashes of Dee Blyth's dead Newfoundland dog, Charlie, who died in 1997.
A police officer investigating the break-in at Chadwell Heath, Essex laughed when he saw the thieves had arranged the ashes into cocaine-style lines, Ms Blyth told The Sun newspaper.
She said: "I'd love to see their faces when these thieves realise. It was horrible knowing they were in my house, but the idea of them trying to get high on a dead dog made me feel better.
"I didn't realise the significance until the policeman started laughing - he couldn't wait to tell his mates back at the station."
The thieves stole two televisions, a video recorder, a hi-fi and £2000 worth of jewellery.
Police are trying to track down the thieves using DNA samples from the bag of ashes.
(Coke wordt in Engeland ook wel 'Charlie' genoemd dus toen de inbrekers de zak met poeder zagen waar Charlie op stond dachten ze dat het coke was.
Ze hebben dus gecremeerde hond lopen snuiven)
