SEARCH and Rescue teams were deployed to look for a missing man in a west Wiltshire village.

More than 20 volunteers, including those from Wiltshire Search and Rescue, along with five search dogs, were deployed to help find a 33-year-old man in the Maiden Bradley area, near Warminster, on Friday afternoon.

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.

From what I've heard about this search, a great result in a search that could have turned out very different!

Good job!
