A body has been found in the search for a teenage boy who was reported missing after playing in a river.
A helicopter and police officers with torches were seen scouring the area near Halfpenny Bridge in Lechlade-on-Thames, Gloucestershire, in the early hours of this morning. Cops were called with a report that a 17-year-old boy was in the water at around 10pm on Sunday, April 30.
A group of five had been at the location together last night, and some had entered the water to try and find him. The others are accounted for. It is understood the four other children were pulled from the water outside The Riverside pub last night.
One resident who lives near the pub told the Mirror : "A friend living close to the bridge messaged that she had seen a group wrapped in metallic blankets in the back of an ambulance."
Officers were supported by the National Police Air Service, Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service, Severn Area Rescue Association and Wiltshire Search & Rescue while searches for the boy took place.
Searches have continued on Monday and a body was recovered from the river by specialist police divers from Avon and Somerset Police.
Although formal identification has not yet taken place, the boy's next of kin have been informed and they are being supported by trained officers.
A spokesperson said: "Our thoughts are with the boy's family and friends at this distressing time. "The death is not being treated as suspicious at this time."
