The team were called today at 13.25 to assist Dorset Police in a search for a missing male in the Durlston Country Park area.
Search teams deployed very quickly around the castle and lighthouse areas as it was over an hour since the person was last seen.
With the help of members of the public who kindly reported seeing the male running west towards St Albans Head the search teams moved rapidly westwards and the St Albans Coastguard team were tasked to assist.
A police helicopter joined the search whilst Police Officers searched key locations in the town and surrounding areas.
Just after 15.30 a Police Officer checking the main roads in Swanage spotted the male near to Victoria Avenue. The male was reunited with his family safe and well.
We would like to thank the public for their assistance in this search. A special thanks to a local coffee shop who kindly provided some pasties and cake for the team as many had missed lunch.
