Male located

The Coastguard team were involved in a large scale search yesterday in the Swanage area.

Coastguards from Swanage , St Albans , Kimmeridge, both Swanage RNLI lifeboat , Dorset Police , NPAS and DorSAR started the search just before 14.00 and carried out searches of the local area.

During the search the assets  had to deal with other  incidents including a possible broken ankle and a sinking boat.

Following extensive searches the Police helicopter spotted a male and directed Coastguards to him and confirmed the safety of the individual.

The teams were stood down at 23.00.

We would like to thank everyone who assisted the teams during that time.
