Police patrolling an ancient woodland stumbled across a snowy car graveyard that turned out to be a dumping ground for stolen vehicles.
The cars and at least one motorbike were found by off-road bike officers in Buck Wood, a couple of miles from Sheffield city centre.
The forest is part of Heritage Woodlands in the Gleadless Valley.
Images from the area, which was woody and snowy, show three cars and a motorbike. The cars, which police say were stolen, were burnt to shells, leaving the area looking like a scrap yard, reports Yorkshire Live.
A spokesperson for South Yorkshire Police's Operational support said: "Off Road Bike Team came across a Graveyard of cars…local scrap yard? No.
"Buck Wood, Sheffield Gleadless Valley. What a waste.
"These cars had been stolen, dumped and set fire to in this ancient woodland."
Meanwhile, last week, The Mirror reported on the discovery of a World War II ammunition plant with more than 1,800 abandoned classic motors.
The fascinating find was made by YouTuber "Mr Goodpilers" in Sidney, Nebraska.
The video, which has been viewed over 200,000 times, is captioned: "Abandoned WWII Munitions Plants with a thousand Antique cars & Truck Collection! 1930s to 1970s!"
'Mr Goodpliers', the YouTuber who regularly posts videos of abandoned classic cars left dumped in garages and barns, was left astounded at the amount of cars found on the site.
In the video he said: "This is by far the largest collection I have ever filmed."
A number of the creepy cars include a rare 'Diamond T' truck in lots of different shapes and sizes as well as International Harvester pickup trucks.
In addition, there is also Ford cab-over trucks from the 1930s, a 1937 Chevrolet dairy truck and a 1962 Corvair Rampside haulier in green.
Many of the cars still had their steering wheels inside, old radios, and even some of the seat padding were still intact.
