Search sparked due to abandoned kayak on River Teign

At 16:39 today a team callout was issued to assist the Police and the NPAS Police Helicopter with a search of the River Teign around New Bridge just to the south of Chudleigh Knighton.

The search was instigated following the report from a member of the public of a damaged and abandoned kayak found on the river.
