Police seeking missing chef Claudia Lawrence mount three-day search in York

Police looking into the disappearance a year ago of chef Claudia Lawrence are searching an area of York, where she went missing.

Officers said the operation, which started yesterday in an area known as The Outgang in Heslington, would take three days.

It follows information North Yorkshire police received "in the last few days", according to the BBC.

But the searches are not said to be connected to an appeal in which detectives said they wanted to speak to a "mystery boyfriend" she spent the night with two nights before she vanished.

Lawrence's disappearance on 18 March last year is being treated as suspected murder.
