Search Up date

Dorset Police requested continued assistance in the search for the missing 86 year old male from Swanage this morning.

The team were paged at 9.20 for a 9.30 briefing at the Coastguard Station. The team reviewed the search carried out yesterday, liaising with both Portland Coastguard and Dorset Police.

It was decided to put search teams in to search around Ballard to concentrate around any wooded area. Search teams were joined by the Dorset Police helicopter who commenced a search in Studland. Sadly around 10.30 the helicopter located a body at the base of cliffs.  Due to the location we requested assistance from both the Swanage Lifeboats.

Our thoughts are with the family.
