The team were contacted at 06:50hrs this morning by Devon & Cornwall Police to respond to a missing person from the Kingsteignton area.

Initial information led the police to request us to search locations in the Bovey Tracey area.

Shortly after 10:00hrs a member of the public reported seeing a person matching the missing persons description in the area of Heathfield, Newton Abbot.

Two team Land Rovers took team doctors and other personnel to the location where the missing person was assessed medically and handed over to South Western Ambulance Service a short time later.

22 members responded to the callout and searched five locations in the area.

Many thanks to the National Trust at Parke for use of their car park, apologies for any disruption caused.
