Authorities at a Southern California police department are trying to return a headstone engraved with the names of three pets found during a recent encampment cleanup.
“Did you know Wiggles, Tuffy, or Sassy? I’m sure the owner of these pets intended to remember them,” the Murrieta Police Department posted on Facebook Tuesday.
Officers found the headstone while the Community Policing Team conducted a “large encampment cleanup” in the south end of Murrieta on March 7.
Police said the headstone does not belong in the area. “We believe that it was stolen from somewhere in Murrieta or Temecula. We would really like to get it back to the owner,” the post read.
Anyone with information was asked to email Sgt. Schmidt at mschmidt@murrietaca.gov.
