HM Coastguard continue to assist Dorset Police in the search for a missing teenager

This morning Dorset Police have again requested HM Coastguard assistance in the continuing search for a missing person, last seen on the 8^th of November in the Swanage area.

Swanage and St Albans Coastguard Rescue Teams are currently carrying out an extensive search in the area.

Kaimes Beasley, Duty Controller for HM Coastguard said:  ‘We understand the concerns of members of the public who want to help the emergency services with the search operation.  However, the coastal environment can be very high risk, and we would ask people not to conduct any searches on the cliffs, coastlines or rivers as they could get into difficulty themselves.  Please be assured that the coastguards -  who are properly equipped and trained to reach these areas – are currently carrying out extensive searches.’

For any further information please contact Dorset Police.
