Police are searching for the owner of a mystery urn found after a car was broken into at Margate this month.

A Margate resident woke on May 3 to find her Nissan X-trail had been entered unlawfully.

Police say the woman found a small urn left behind that did not belong to her.

The woman handed the urn into police, who found it contained ashes.
