Both St Davids RNLI lifeboats tasked to search for a missing person
On Thursday August 30 at 11.20pm following a request by UK Coastguards and Dyfed Powys Police, both St Davids all-weather and inshore lifeboats launched on service to search for a 56yr old male, reported missing and there was concerns for his welfare.
The missing person’s vehicle had been found in the car park at Caerfai, also tasked to this incident were coastguard teams from St Davids and Broad Haven together with Police Officers and a Police helicopter.
Both lifeboats carried out a thorough coastal and shoreline search between Porthclais and Solva harbours.
With no one found both lifeboats were stood down to return to station rehousing at 2.53am.
I can confirm that mid-morning today Friday the missing person was found safe and well, when he returned to his vehicle where he was met by Police Officers and St Davids coastguards.
