Police said they were "exploring a number of lines of inquiry" after human bones were found by a member of the public

A cordon was put in place after officers were called to a field near a retail park, close to Walton Highway in Norfolk, on Sunday morning.

"The cordon is still in place on Lynn Road and will remain for some time," the force said.

Anyone with information was asked to contact Norfolk Police.

Jack Brocklehurst, who works at the nearby retail park, said: "It is a quiet area. I am a bit shocked."
