An investigation is under way after suspected human remains washed up at two locations on the North Devon coastline.
Devon and Cornwall Police officers were informed initially of what appeared to be human remains on Westward Ho! beach in Bideford at about 09:30 BST on Thursday.
Officers were then notified of further suspected remains being found on the coastline at Appledore.
The force said there would be an increased police presence along the coast between the two locations, and asked people to avoid posting images on social media if they spotted “anything concerning”.
A spokesperson for the force said: “Officers attended both areas and have taken the items to be further examined.
“At this stage it is too early to comment and speculate further, and we are asking the public to contact us and avoid posting images on social media if they spot anything concerning along the coastline.”
