An investigation has been launched after human remains were found at a recycling centre in Hartlepool this weekend.
Employees reportedly found the bones on Sunday at Tofts Farm Industrial Estate and called the police, who later confirmed them as human.
Cleveland Police Officer Chris Pringle said: ‘We have a dedicated team of detectives and officers from departments across the force working at pace and conducting the investigation expeditiously to identify the remains, however, this will take a considerable amount of time.
‘I understand how concerning this will be for those living within our community and the wider public.
‘I know there will be families who have missing loved ones and are worried about the remains, and I want to reassure you that if any relevant information comes to light, we will be in touch.’
The recycling plant has been closed since the discovery, with a cordon in place as officers continue their investigation.
