Operation Grange was costing more and more of taxpayers money while other areas face budget cuts

 

Madeleine McCann

 

British police hunting for missing Madeleine McCann have made the decision to stop all forensic work.

 

The Sunday Mirror can reveal the final scientific tests on the case were completed three months ago as part of Scotland Yard’s £12million inquiry.

 

Operation Grange was launched by ex-PM David Cameron five years ago to find the doctors’ daughter, who vanished, aged three, during a holiday to Portugal in 2007.

 

But it is expected to be shelved in the autumn amid concerns about its spiralling cost while other areas of policing face budget cuts.

 

A source said: “The final forensics were carried out about three months ago but, sadly, they didn’t take us forward. There are no plans for any further forensic work to take place.”

It had been hoped tests could be carried out on hairs recovered from the holiday flat from which Madeleine vanished. 

It is a further blow for parents Kate and Gerry, who lost a £434,000 libel payout in April from a Portuguese officer who wrote a book questioning the pair’s account.

 

The couple, from Rothley, Leics, said: “Until we have answers, until there is news, there will always be hope and we will do everything we can to help find Madeleine.”

 

The inquiry has taken 1,338 statements and investigated 60 “persons of interest” but police privately concede they are no closer to finding Madeleine.
