Police had been alerted at about 1.30pm following reports a motorbike had been left on the side of a secluded track for two days with the owner nowhere to be seen.

A search was launched following concerns that the man, who is from Torquay, Devon, had been depressed recently.
Police helicopters were also deployed and the man was eventually located by search dogs and detained shortly after midnight under the Mental Health Act.
He was later released.
