Police are conducting a search of Culver Down with the assistance of HM Coastguard and Sandown & Shanklin Independent Lifeboat this morning (Thursday).
Officers are understood to be looking for a vulnerable individual at the beauty spot overlooking Sandown Bay.
Coastguard Rescue Officers from Bembridge and Ventnor are on scene at the top of the cliff, with Sandown Lifeboat conducting a sweep of the coastline below.
UPDATE @ 09:52 – Search teams have now been stood down from the incident.
The male has been located safe and well elsewhere.
Let’s hope he got the help (and the attention) he clearly needed
Well done to the services, always there when someone is in crisis. ….. Thank you
Bill him for all the costs involved. Think twice then.
You don’t know the full story. Comments like that are unnecessary.
Yep they sure are
What a kind thoughtfull person you are, I hope you never ever need help when your in a crisis!!,think before you speak .
This person is clearly ignorant to the vulnerable. People are affected in all sorts of ways when it comes to mental health and physical illness, shame on you for that comment
