Mid this afternoon our Team Leader Garry Rhodes MBE was contacted directly by a Greater Manchester Police Missing Person Search Manager regarding an urgent developing search for a missing man, believed to be in the Charters Moss / North Egerton area.

In liaison with GMP it was decided to place the team on standby, whilst awaiting further intelligence to determine likely search areas.

Shortly after this a Police patrol located the missing man in the general area of Belmont and Egerton, and the team was stood down as no longer being required.

This is recorded here for information purposes only and is not reported in our incident figures.
