Police have launched a major operation at an abandoned site in Westminster following reports of potential human remains. Forensic teams are meticulously combing through the derelict building, which has long been considered an eyesore by local residents.
The investigation was prompted after a member of the public reported suspicious findings at the location. Officers cordoned off the area, and specialist units were deployed to assist in the search.
A police spokesperson confirmed the operation, stating, "We are treating this as a serious incident and are conducting a thorough forensic examination of the site." No further details have been released at this stage.
Local residents expressed shock at the developments. One neighbour said, "This place has been neglected for years. It's unsettling to think something like this could happen here."
The derelict building has been a source of frustration for the community, with calls for its demolition growing louder in recent months. Authorities have assured the public that updates will be provided as the investigation progresses.
