Bags were seen being taken from the scene of the search of a reservoir in Portugal as German police revealed that it had been sparked by ‘certain tips’. Police have combed the banks of a reservoir in Portugal with the help of sniffer dogs, rakes and pickaxes as part of the investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
Emergency service divers were seen on a rigid-hull inflatable boat early on Tuesday morning at the Barragem do Arade – around 30 miles from Praia da Luz, where the three-year-old went missing in 2007.
Officers concentrated their search at one area of the reservoir – erecting white tents on a hill on the banks.Further around the water, emergency services and officials from Portugal, Germany and the UK were seen holding briefings near blue police tents.
