Madeleine McCann Search 'Enters Major Phase'
Police investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann will begin "a substantial phase of operational activity" within weeks.
Scotland Yard launched a fresh investigation last July.
The three-year-old disappeared from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal, seven years ago.
Met Police Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley did not give details about the next phase, however he said officers were working through every credible line of inquiry as part of the "slog of a major investigation".
Mr Rowley said: "It's something that you would expect in any major inquiry. A thorough serious crime investigation works systematically through all the credible possibilities, and often in an investigation you will have more than one credible possibility.
"Therefore just because we're doing a substantial phase of work in the forthcoming weeks doesn't mean that it's going to immediately lead to answers that will explain everything."
