Police investigating the 33-year mystery of estate agent Suzy Lamplugh's murder have begun searching areas of land in Worcestershire.
The Metropolitan Police has said officers are acting on new information received as a result of the publicity around the search of a property in Sutton Coldfield in November last year and are being assisted by West Mercia Police.
The family of Ms Lamplugh has been notified of the new searches in Pershore.
Police say the owner of the land being investigated is not connected to the operation, or the case in any way.
The 25-year-old estate agent was working in Fulham, west London, when she disappeared on Monday 28 July 1986.
