McCann search targets previously hidden ground

Forensics officers have begun probing an area of previously hidden ground during the search of scrubland close to where Madeleine McCann was last seen in Portugal seven years ago.

Two men in white overalls were seen entering a tent which has been erected on a spot of interest to police in Praia da Luz on the Algarve.

The area, which was covered by undergrowth until Tuesday, has already been subject to fingertip searches by Metropolitan Police officers.
