The plot has thickened at the scene of a police investigation into a car buried in a garden in Barton under Needwood, Derbyshire. Residents from neighbouring properties of the house, in St Luke's Road, claim chicken corpses have been discovered alongside the interred vehicle.
The car was unearthed on Tuesday while work was being carried out in the back garden of the semi-detached house by the current occupant of the property.
A police spokesman would neither confirm nor deny the latest claims but said enquiries were in hand. "We are continuing our investigation to try to ascertain the history of the vehicle involved," said the spokesman. "At this stage we are not in a position to say what will happen to the vehicle."
Yesterday, a Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) stood guard over the rear garden of the property, where a police tent still covered the site where the vehicle is buried.
Speculation continued as to how the vehicle came to be buried in the garden. One neighbour said that previous residents of the property, who no longer lived in the street, had been seen digging in their garden in the middle of the night.
"I'm not surprised to hear about all this really because we have had some very strange people living in the street in the past," said the neighbour. One family that lived here, you would hear them crashing about at all hours of the night, but they had a very high fence so you could never see what they were doing."
