Incident No: 136 2018

Date: 9 December 2018
Time: 19.12hrs
Location: Cocklawburn Beach, near Berwick

After a full day’s exercise at one end of our operational area, we deployed to the other end on Sunday evening. Northumbria Police requested Mountain Rescue’s support for an ongoing search for a missing 63 year old female.

Working alongside HM Coastguard Northumberland, Berwick Coastguard rescue team and Eyemouth Coastguard, North of Tyne Mountain Rescue Team and ourselves conducted an extensive overnight search of areas adjacent to Cocklawburn Beach to the south of Berwick. Unfortunately nothing was found and the Teams stood down in the early hours of Monday morning.

The search for Mary Fuller continued on Monday with Northumbria Police, Coastguard, RNLI and the National Police Air Service assets being deployed. Mountain Rescue will be assisting again today.

If anyone knows of Mary Fuller’s whereabouts, please contact the police on 101. Mary is described as white, of slight build with grey short hair and was last seen wearing a green fleece waistcoat, green trousers and boots.

We hope Mary is found safe and well.

The incident involved 19 Team members for 5 hours 45 minutes.
