Search For Rebecca Watts Intensifies
The search for 16-year-old Rebecca Watts has been intensified.
More police officers are at a number of locations and are searching within a 2km radius of Becky's home address in the St George area of Bristol.
A police spokesperson said: "We can confirm that, at this stage, no significant items have been identified during these searches."
A laptop computer which was found in a local wooded area yesterday, is not related to the investigation.
Police are running six specialist search teams each day by officers from Wiltshire, Devon and Cornwall and Gloucestershire Police forces.
Detective Superintendent Liz Tunks, head of the Major Crime Investigation Team at Avon and Somerset Police, said: "Firstly, I would like to reiterate my message yesterday that our search for Becky continues unabated and we are using all available resources to find her.
"Secondly, I would like to extend my thanks to the local communities in St George and the wider Bristol area who have assisted with our search efforts so far.
"The sheer number of people who have shown support during the public searches has been incredible. I would ask that all planned public searches are co-ordinated through us so they dovetail with the extensive search operation we have running.
"Finally, I would urge anyone who have any information as to Becky's whereabouts to come forward immediately. Please call us on 101 or use the online reporting page on our website."
The two people arrested yesterday remain in police custody.
