A mortician’s van was stolen while the attendants went inside a Lancaster home to pick up a body, authorities said Sunday.
It happened at 8:13 p.m. Saturday on the 44700 block of 11th Street East, said Sgt. Dustin Carr of the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station.
“They went to pick up a person to take them to a funeral home and when they came out it was gone,” Carr said.
The van was described as a white 2013 Dodge Caravan panel van, California license number 7HAW371, he said.
There was no word of what the morticians did without the van to take the body away, nor was there any information about the cause of death or identification of the dead person.
