The team were requested by North Yorkshire Police to assist with the search for a missing person (m, 87) who had not been seen for over 24hrs. The team was tasked with searching the wooded areas of the hotel grounds where the police helicopter and drones were unable to see beneath the canopy. Five search teams were deployed including the team search dog ‘Kes’. After an extensive search of the woodlands the missing person was located . Despite having spent the night outside he was in good spirits and following an assessment by team medics was then brought back to the hotel for further checks by Yorkshire Ambulance Service. The team were very grateful for the refreshments that were provided by the Hotel staff after the incident.
