Paisley family devastated as thieves steal mum's ashes after 'mistaking' them for bottle of whisky

A grief-stricken family have been dealt another blow after their mum's ashes were allegedly stolen by callous crooks who apparently mistook her urn for a bottle of high-end whisky.

Isobel Calderwood's remains were reportedly taken from her son Stephen Burgess' flat, in Paisley, after he was evacuated when a blaze broke out at a neighbouring property.

The criminals allegedly sneaked into the flat in the early hours of Friday, January 20, when Stephen, 37, had temporarily moved in with a friend, the Daily Record reports.
