BBC 12 MAR 2023
Police have launched an investigation after the discovery of what could be human bones in woodland.
Officers were called to an area near Cottingwood Lane, in Morpeth, Northumberland, just after 3pm on Thursday, after workers from Northumbrian Water made the find.
Inquiries are still being conducted on Friday and police cordoned off a section of the woodland, reports Chronicle Live.
Northumbria Police has appealed for people with information to come forward.
A dog walker in the area in Morpeth, who used to go to the nearby King Edward VI School, said they were surprised by the news of a suspicious find.
Another dog walker said he walks both of his dogs around the nearby fields every day and was surprised to hear bones had been found in the area.
He added that he rarely ventures into the field where the discovery was made but added that it was close to his former school.
Northumbria Police said in a statement: "Shortly before 3pm yesterday (Thursday) we received a report of potential human bones being found in a wooded area near Cottingwood Lane, Morpeth.
"Officers remain at the scene to carry out enquiries and an investigation has been launched into the discovery.
