According to Niagara Police, the order was likely placed on Monday evening or in the early morning hours of Tuesday morning.

They are looking to confirm which restaurant the food originated from, and are asking for the public's assistance.

Police have said that the two victims had "obvious signs of trauma," reports Global News.
