Officers have spent the morning working in the garden, in Knowsley Crescent, following the report, police said.

One neighbour told The Gazette a tent has been erected at the house, while a passer-by said she spotted forensics experts there.

The search is not linked to Paige Chivers or Charlene Downes, it is understood.
