Police appeal for return of pendant with baby's ashes taken from Ajax home

Durham Region police say the home was broken into sometime Monday, and various items were stolen. Police are particularly appealing for the return of a silver pendant that holds the baby's ashes. Investigators say the couple is devastated and just wants the pendant back.

It's described as circle-shaped, about the size of a toonie, with an engraving of leaves and branches and is on a thin silver chain.

Investigators say they believe the thief didn't realize the sentimental value of the pendant and are appealing for anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers or police.
