Dozens of fetuses and infant remains were removed during Detroit police raids on two metro Detroit cemeteries on Wednesday as part of the state's investigation into Perry Funeral Home.

The cemeteries are the Gethsemane Cemetery on Gratiot Avenue near Conner in Detroit and the Knollwood Cemetery in Canton.

Following the raid, LARA announced that Knollwood Memorial Park Cemetery in Canton would be shut down, citing an "imminent threat to public health and safety."

Officers looked at hundreds of sets of remains from both cemeteries, saying that there were 27 sets of infant and fetal remains that had improper or missing paperwork from Knollwood and 17 from Gethsemane.

In October, officers found 36 fetuses in cardboard boxes and 27 more in freezers from inside Perry Funeral Home. The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs revoked the funeral home's license and shut down the facility.

Earlier that month, police also discovered 11 infant bodies in the ceiling of Cantrell Funeral Home, also in Detroit.
