Police in Oxford have taped off a field while forensics have set up a tent at the scene.
Thames Valley Police officers were spotted at the field opposite Travelodge on Abingdon Road this morning (Wednesday, November 6).
A police car was parked on the cycle path, and one officer stood guard as the entrance to the field was cordoned off with crime scene tape.
Forensics were also at the scene with two of the team entering and leaving a blue tent set up by the team earlier.

Members of the public were allowed to continue using the path but entry to the field was prohibited.
The force remains at the scene this afternoon and we have approached Thames Valley Police for further details on the incident.
We repeatedly asked the force for more information today but were told more information is likely to be provided on Thursday.
People in the community were expressing concern over the scene.
