Both Swanage and St Albans Coastguard Teams have been searching this afternoon for the missing teenager Gaia Pope.
Fifteen Coastguard volunteers conducted a thorough search from Peveril Point and the Downs up the coast path and undercliff to Durlston and from there up to Anvil Point and onto Dancing Ledge.
After over six hours the teams were stood down by the Police and have returned to base to eat and rest and await further instructions.
We understand that members of the public are continuing to search this evening and we would urge you to take great care and please stay away from cliff edges, coast paths etc. These areas have been thoroughly searched today and nobody wants to see further missing persons or injuries etc as a result of searching unfamiliar terrain in the dark.
To repeat: the coastal areas from Peveril Point to Dancing Ledge have all been checked this afternoon.
