Tests to be carried out after Piranhas found in Yorkshire pond

Tests are being carried out on two piranhas found dead in a Yorkshire fishing lake.

People living in the village of Edlington, near Doncaster, have suggested the notorious fish could be responsible for a decline in ducks at Martinwells Lake.

Experts have suggested that it is virtually impossible for the piranhas tohave lived in Yorkshire temperature open water.

The lake, known locally as the Brick Pond, is owned by Doncaster Council and a spokesman for the authority said the dead fish have been taken for examination.
