Torbay Coastguard posted on their Facebook page: “On arriving our OIC (Officer In Charge) requested for Teignmouth coastguard to be paged to add more numbers due to the large area we needed to cover. We also requested assistance from Teignmouth Lifeboat and RNLITorbay to carry out a shoreline search and a search of the areas Rescue Officers would not be able to access on foot.

“Three search teams were deployed to search Petitor area, Babbacombe, Oddicombe and up to Ansteys cove.

“With further police information coming in and our Search areas all completed, our search was scaled down and the police are following up other information.”

The police helicopter was also seen searching along the coastline.
