Eleven team members evacuated  a missing female in the vicinity of Bodmin Moor.  The team were already en route to assist with the search for the female after she was reported overdue from a dog walk.   The team were updated with a possible location for her which was confirmed by team members. She was rewarmed and quickly evacuated a short distance over moorland by team members to a waiting ambulance for onward transport to Hospital.

 

Other than being cold and confused she was in good shape. We wish her well.

 

 

 

 

[4] - Menheniot, Search


Wednesday 18th January 2012 at 18:30 hrs

 

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.
