Madeleine McCann police in Germany 'find cellar' during allotment search
''German police searching an allotment plot used bythe prime suspect in the disappearance of
Madeleine McCann have reportedly found a cellar once believed to have belonged to a garden house which was torn down at the end of 2007.
German media have been reporting on the apparent development, though police have yet to comment.
Two small excavators are being used to dig up the plot on the outskirts of the north German city of Hanover, which was once used by Christian Brückner, 43, German investigators’ main suspect into the abduction of the three-year-old British girl in 2007.''
''One allotment tenant next to the plot being searched, told the newspaper Bild the cellar had belonged to the plot “for many years” and had been added by a previous tenant. It was not filled in when the summer house attached to it, was torn down at the end of 2007, he said. It is not clear who tore the house down.
Police have sealed off the area, and added extra non-transparent screening on Wednesday, according to reporters at the scene. Police confirmed reports that they had shut the airspace over the area they were searching, to avoid helicopters and drones from being able to fly overhead.''
