An owl sanctuary raided by police following a BBC investigation into working practices has reopened to the public.

On Friday, police seized more than 90 items, including 22 birds from The New Forest Owl Sanctuary at Ringwood in Hampshire.

It was closed to the public over the weekend, but according to a spokesman, the sanctuary reopened as normal on Monday.

The sanctuary's owner, Bruce Berry, has denied there is anything wrong with procedures at the sanctuary.

An original police investigation into the centre began 18 months ago, but was subsequently dropped.

It was reopened following a report by BBC South's Inside Out team last month.
