PSNI dig garden in baby's body search

The PSNI are excavating a back garden in the North after an anonymous tip-off that a baby‘s body is buried there.

Specialist sniffer dogs are helping officers as they search under the patio area of the property in Ballyclare, Co Antrim.

The operation at the rear of the terraced house on Hawthorn Way began yesterday and could last a number of days.

It is understood the incident is not linked to the current tenants of the building and the unknown caller claimed the infant‘s body has been there for some time.
