The area around Dukinfield Cemetery has been closed off after reports of 'remains’ being found nearby.

Police arrived at the scene yesterday afternoon (Saturday September 14) after a member of the public stumbled across unspecified objects in woodland, which prompted a large-scale response from GMP.

Officers, including forensic experts, have been there overnight with a presence on Water Street and Prospect Road at the eastern end of the cemetery.

This is a breaking news story with updates added as more information becomes available.
