Vancouver - A police major crime investigation is underway after three human right feet, each shod in a sneaker, arrived on beaches on western Canadian islands.
The third foot was found earlier this month on a beach on Valdez Island, some 80km west of this metropolis, said police, while the first two feet washed up on area beaches last August.
A police major crime unit has been called in and is "assisting in the investigations," police spokesperson Annie Linteau told AFP Friday. "It is an unusual situation."
A formal police statement merely said, "It is not known at this time what relationship, if any, this foot has with the two feet recovered last year in the same area, those cases are still under investigation and there is no further information available. Police have yet to determine if foul play is involved in this latest discovery."
The first two feet were size 12, while the size of the third foot is not yet known.
