British police 'preparing to seek McCann possessions'

Speculation is mounting today that prosecutors in the Madeleine McCann case want to secure more items from the family as they continue to hunt for evidence against them.

There are claims that British police are preparing to seek possessions from Kate and Gerry McCann, on behalf of the Portuguese authorities, though the force in their home county, Leicestershire, England said last night it was not aware of any such request.
