Full team call out to search areas in and around Fistral beach alongside police, HM Coastguard and RNLI for a high risk 26 year old male missing person.
Unfortunately despite extensive searches, he was not located. A body was washed ashore Tolcarne Beach on Friday believed to be the missing person. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

The team were requested to assist police in searching a disused quarry for a despondent missing person after his car had been located nearby. Due to the limited nature of the search and the quarry being water filled in places, a partial call out was initiated, accompanied with a request for SARDA search dogs to attend.
Sadly, whilst team members were at the RV point a body was located by police outside of the initial search area at the bottom of a 20 ft embankment. The search dogs were then stood down and the team evacuated the body to the nearest road.
