Things that go bump in the night

Just after 10pm last night Dorset Police requested assistance in searching for a local male missing from his home.

Normally the Coastguard would search an area called the coastal strip however to assist the Police we searched further in land , around the streets and paths of the town.

Thankfully the missing man was located safe and well, however the sight of several of our search teams in high viz clothing looking around garages and using torches triggered several calls to the Police.

So apologies to the residents we disturbed, we would like to reassure residents that all our clothing is clearly marked with Coastguard logo's and team members would be wearing safety helmets. We would also only be on public land and only search private areas with the permission of the owners.
