The Search and Rescue Dog Association were called into action last night to help locate a missing person in the south of the island.
Called out just before 6pm the SARDA worked alongside the Constabulary to carry out the search.
SARDA explained: “Dog handlers Ben Scott with dog Steve and Olivia Crowe with Mop arrived first at the rendezvous point (RV), joined by navigators Gary Wright, Becky Scott, Mal Stewart, and James Leonard. Shortly after, dog handler Jim McGregor with trailing dog Ruby set off towards the scene, accompanied by navigators Marc Marshall, Will Heap, and Helen Rossington.
“Following a police briefing, Mal Stewart remained at the RV to manage search system technology, ensuring the team had real-time tracking support. Meanwhile, both air scenting dog teams deployed into the area of interest, searching alongside their navigators.”
Just before 7:30pm the person was found by Mop, Olivia, Gary and James and safely helped back to their family.
