The bodies of two young children are believed to have been found inside suitcases that were bought along with an abandoned storage unit by an unsuspecting family.
A family from South Auckland bid in an auction last week and won the unit’s contents before making the shocking discovery human remains were inside.
The remains are believed to be those of two children, The New Zealand Herald reported.
Police are yet to confirm the reports or how many bodies were found.

There is no suggestion the family who bought the items from the storage unit are involved.
A homicide investigation is underway.
A trailer which carried the items including the suitcases also had ‘prams, toys, and a walker’, a neighbour of the property in Clendon Park told the publication.
The family had bid on the contents of the storage locker online, a common practice for storage sheds with unpaid rent which has even turned into a popular US reality TV show, Storage Wars.
Buyers are not allowed to rifle through the contents in depth before the auction and only when the family began looking through what they’d purchased back at their home did they make the chilling discovery.
More to come
