In the United States, a man was accused of stealing human remains from a cemetery. This was reported on January 8 by the Associated Press, citing law enforcement agencies.

"Bones and skulls that were spotted in the back seat of a car near an abandoned cemetery on the outskirts of Philadelphia led police to a basement filled with human remains," the agency noted.

According to police, the man was collecting about 100 sets of human remains and was detained with a crowbar in his hands and a bag with mummified body parts. He was charged with desecrating the bodies of the deceased, possession of stolen property, desecration of a historical burial site, burglary, trespassing and embezzlement.
