POLICE have cordoned off a large area at Hengistbury Head this morning.

The activity is centred around the smaller car park at the clifftop site.

There were numerous police vehicles and scenes of crime officers in the car park.

One Echo reader who lives nearby said: "There is a large police presence and an area has been cordoned off. Also there were what looked like scenes of crime officers present."

Another said via Twitter: "I saw the area cordoned off. It looked as if the police were searching for something."
