A crime scene was in place in Wakefield earlier today following the discovery of a number of bones.

A police cordon was spotted on a tow path at Welbeck Lane, leading towards Stanley Ferry, this afternoon.

Police attended the scene and examinations took place to determine if the bones were human.

A spokesman later said that they did, however, appear to have been animal bones.

The scene is now being closed by officers
