Police have visited a site in Surrey where an unauthorised caravan encampment has been set up.

Officers said 30 caravans and other vehicles moved onto the land in Waterer's Park, Knaphill, on Wednesday.

The police said they were working closely with Woking Borough Council, which owns the land.

A similar incident happened on the same piece of land in August 2024.
