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. |
