Missing teenager: Body found

Police searching for a teenager who went missing during last week's storms have found a body.

Harry Martin, 18, from Membland, Newton Ferrers, was last seen on 2 January when he went to take photographs of stormy seas.

A Devon and Cornwall Police spokesman said the body had not yet been formally identified.

A 20-mile-stretch of coastline, ten miles either side of Harry’s home at Membland, Newton Ferrers, had been extensively searched, as well as inland areas, with the help of a range of groups and emergency services.

Police were helped by the Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service, the Urban Search and Rescue Group, Dartmoor Rescue Group, HM Coastguard, the inshore and offshore lifeboats and the search and rescue helicopter from RMB Chivenor.

The serarch had moved from an active stage, to a responsive one. 

Police thanked the public for their support and help during the searches.
