This morning, forensics officers formed a line before conducting a fingertip search of the site.

The search teams could be seen placing markers down as archaeologists examined the area.

A blue police tent has been placed in front of a digger, while part of the vehicle’s caterpillar tracks have been covered with sheeting

Police say there’s no evidence a crime has been committed.

The bones will now be analysed, with West Midlands Police aiming to find out the identity of the person dumped at the site.

Cops say archaeological tests will also be carried out in a bid to discover how old the bones are.

A force spokesperson said: “We’re investigating after human remains were discovered on land off Damson Parkway, Solihull, on Wednesday.”

“The area has been cordoned off for further searches to be carried out.

“The bones will undergo forensic and archaeological analysis.

“There is no information linking them to a criminal investigation at this stage.”

In August, two bin bags of human bones were found the River Stour in Sudbury, Suffolk.

The bags are believed to have thrown in the water after being carried in a shopping trolley.

The mum of missing airman Corrie McKeague feared the bones could be the remains of her son.

But officers were quickly able to tell Nicola Urquhart the find isn’t connected to 23-year-old Corrie.

Corrie vanished on a night out in Bury St Edmunds, around 16 miles north of Sudbury, on September 24, 2016. He was stationed at RAF Honington.

The investigation into his disappearance was passed to cold case detectives in 2018.

Suffolk Police said the “most likely scenario” is that he went into a bin which was emptied into a lorry and ended up in the waste process.

No trace of him has been found.
