Mystery bones found in empty house and police don’t know if they’re human
Police are investigating after bones were found in a house.
The discovery was made at a home in Bloxwhich, Walsall, on Monday and it’s currently not known whether the bones are human.
West Midlands Police says nobody was at the house when the discovery was made, and nobody has been arrested so far.
A statement from the force said: ‘Bones have been recovered from an address in Bloxwich on October, 30 and we are now working with forensic specialists to establish whether they are human or otherwise.
‘Officers are no longer present at the scene.’
Residents on the street, Simmonds Road, shared their shock as a heavy police presence descended on their quiet street.
One told the Express & Star the house had stood empty for several months.
He said: ‘There has been a heavy police presence at a home on Simmonds Road in Bloxwich, they have been there around the clock for nearly 48 hours since Monday.
‘The house was empty we know that much but officers won’t tell us anything that’s going on.’
Another added: ‘We could see something going on in one of the empty homes but no one would tell us anything.
‘They were there for two days but officers and forensics have left now.’
