Madeleine McCann: Police give major update on reservoir search as 'number of items' seized

Police investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann seized a 'number of items' in a search at a reservoir in Portgual.

Detectives from the Federal Criminal Police (BKA), Germany’s equivalent of the FBI, spent days searching land next to the Arade reservoir in Silva last week. They used sniffer dogs, radar and search teams to scour the location just 31 miles from where three-year-old Maddie vanished in 2007.

Prime suspect Christian Brueckner, 45, once referred to the location as his 'little paradise'. Today (June 1), police said they had seized a number of items during the search which will now be analysed, the Mirror reports.
