Location: Hexham
We received a SARCALL activation from Northumbria Police at 19.59 hrs to assist with a search for a vulnerable female in her early 70s who was last seen by her husband in a supermarket carpark in Hexham.
The Police already had officers on the ground searching and had called in the National Police Air Support Unit to assist.
The Team and North of Tyne MRT were placed on standby and drivers were arranged whilst our controller liaised with the Police to gain more information to aid deployment.
Whilst we were talking to the Police control room, the good news came through that the female had been located safe and well.
The teams were stood down and normal family life resumed!
The incident involved three members for 30 minutes.
