Search on Saturday

On Saturday , the Swanage and St Albans Coastguard Teams were tasked to assist Dorset Police for a missing male from Corfe Castle.

Information lead the search to be focused in the Swanage and Acton areas. Teams deployed and covered a wide area checking for the 81 year old.

Working with Dorset Police and NPAS , large areas were checked before moving towards Corfe Castle and north towards Norden.
Roads, tracks and paths were checked whilst NPAS covered the open ground from the air.

After 7 hours of searching the teams were stood down at 2am to rest.

Dorset Police later confirmed the male was located safe and well.

We would like to thank the local community for their support during the search.
