River search stood down after no person found
GoogleA search of a North Yorkshire river triggered by a report of a body being spotted in fast-flowing water has been stood down.
Emergency services searched the River Greta in Ingleton, in the Yorkshire Dales, after North Yorkshire Police was contacted at about 14:00 BST on Monday.
The force said no person was found and "extensive enquiries" for any belongings, abandoned vehicles or missing people both in the area and further afield had not led to any new information.
A force spokesperson said they believed the member of the public who had reported the initial sighting had "done the right thing" and made the call to emergency services with "good intent".
