At 08:00 this morning North Dartmoor Search and Rescue Team asked us to assist them in a search for a missing person deemed to be at high risk who had been missing since the previous evening. They had searched throughout the night to no avail.
At 10:40 a helicopter crew of the National Police Air Service spotted the person near Raybarrow Pool on Throwleigh Common
One search party went to her while a stretcher party deployed from Shilstone Tor. She was then stretchered back to the awaiting ambulance service
On return to our RVP we were greeted by the Rapid Relief Team who provided welcome refreshments for SAR team members, some of whom had been on the moor for over twelve hours. That support was appreciated greatly. A successful outcome from joint working
