Search for two swimmers in danger has been called off.

Last night, the police and RNLI were working together to find two swimmers who were reported to be in distress off the coast of Devon. The incident was reported at around 6pm on Monday evening when the two individuals were spotted in the water at West Hoe, Plymouth. The authorities took the report seriously and launched a major search, involving multiple emergency services such as the HM Coastguard and Plymouth RNLI.

Despite their best efforts, the search was called off by the police later in the evening as they were unable to locate the swimmers or any signs of distress. They also received no further reports of concern or missing individuals in the area. The police assured the public that they take all reports of this nature seriously and work closely with other emergency response agencies to thoroughly investigate all possibilities.

Inspector Roger Hocking, who was leading the search, urged anyone who may have been in the vicinity of ASH Buoy near the Waterside/Wet Wok eateries to come forward with any information that could assist in their investigation. He also emphasized the importance of identifying the two swimmers and ensuring their safety. It was possible that they had already returned to shore and were unaware of the reports made about them.

The HM Coastguard also confirmed their involvement in the incident, stating that they had received reports of swimmers in difficulty in Plymouth Hoe. They were alerted just after 6.15pm and immediately dispatched coastguard rescue teams, a search and rescue helicopter, and lifeboats to the scene.

As the search continued, the police and RNLI were hopeful that the two swimmers had indeed made it back to dry land and were unaware of the commotion caused by the reports of their distress. The police also clarified that they had not received any reports of missing persons in the area.

Despite the unsuccessful outcome of the search, the authorities assured the public that they would always respond promptly and efficiently to any reports of individuals in danger. They urged the public to remain vigilant and report any sightings or concerns to the appropriate authorities. The safety and well-being of all individuals, especially those in distress, is of the utmost importance to the police and emergency services.
