Missing man search continues at Brancaster, Norfolk

The search is resuming this morning for a 75-year-old man who went missing while out with his family on a walk at Brancaster, Norfolk.
A 999 call was received yesterday reporting the man who was last seen around 5.10pm yesterday on the beach heading towards Titchwell from Brancaster.
HM Coastguard initially sent the Hunstanton and Wells Coastguard Rescue Teams along with the lifeboat from Hunstanton. The HM Coastguard search and rescue helicopter was sent from Humberside to join the search. Norfolk Police officers were also involved.

Jordan Grebby from HM Coastguard said: ‘An extensive search was carried out across the Brancaster and Titchwell area overnight. The Coastguard rescue teams searched the land and sea front while the lifeboat took on inlets and creeks and the helicopter shoreline and creeks. At just before 2am today that search was suspended but is now under way again.’
Norfolk Police and the Coastguard Rescue Teams along with the Wells Inshore lifeboat are now continuing the search for the missing man.

(Please note: HM Coastguard has no further information – enquiries should now be directed to Norfolk Police.)
