A bunch of dumb ‘ashes’

ANDALUZ

What were these guys smoking?

A man and two dogs, as it turned out.

Waldo Soroa, 19; Matrix Andaluz, 18; Jose Marrero, 19; and two juveniles broke into a house in Florida, spotted white powder in two urns, decided it was coke or heroin, and promptly began snorting it, officials said.

But the “drugs” turned out to be the cremated remains of homeowner Holli Tencza’s dad and her two Great Danes.

One of the creeps confessed to cops in Silver Springs Shores after they were busted last month in connection with a separate break-in nearby.

The crooks said they eventually realized their mistake, and had a brief attack of conscience.

They talked about returning the ashes that were left, but then they decided their fingerprints would be pulled off the urns, so they dumped the evidence in a nearby lake.

The sheriff’s office is trying to retrieve the “drug” urns before any fish get hooked.
