Human remains found in cellar - police reveal they 'may be children'

Human remains found in a cellar by builders may be the bones of children, police have revealed.

Construction workers alerted cops after making the disturbing discovery while renovating a property in Lytham, Lancashire, on August 15.

Crime Scene Investigators descended on the Cleveland Road house and all building work was suspended.

A forensics van was seen parked on the sleepy terraced street while investigators in hazmat suits combed the scene.

The remains have since been confirmed to be human, and inquiries have led police to understand that 'they may be that of children and that this is an isolated historical burial'.
