Search of harbour draws a blank

by isleofman.com 12th January 2009
A search of Douglas harbour earlier today was completed with nothing found.

It was launched early this morning after a member of the public reported hearing shouts for help in the area of the Isle of Man Business School, just up the river.

The Douglas Coastguard Rescue Team was sent to help police and fire officers.

A team from the Fire and Rescue Service carried out a search of the river, and the marina was searched using an inflatable dinghy, the harbour patrol vessel and teams in immersion suits.

The Coastguard team stood down at 11.15am.
