Police Remove Cordon At Parkhurst Forest

Police Remove Cordon At Parkhurst Forest
By Isle of Wight Radio Reporter Wed, 29 August 2012 10:01AM

Police on the Isle of Wight have confirmed a cordon has been lifted at Parkhurst forest.

A spokesperson confirmed to Isle of Wight Radio, "there is no longer a police presence at the scene."

Officers began a search of an area in the forest on Friday last week after a dog walker found a number of 'suspicious items'.

Police believe they're connected to a crime and have been there for some time.

A spokesperson said "there is nothing to suggest the items are connected with missing teenager Damien Nettles".
