THE Tavistock Dartmoor Search and Rescue Team were called by police to assist in locating a missing woman on the moors last week.

The team received the call at 11.12am on Tuesday (November 24) to help police in a search for a 37-year-old female missing from Plympton, as she was deemed to be at high risk. Her car had been located in a car park in Princetown and she was believed to be on open moorland.

From details given by her in a telephone call with the police, a likely area for her location was assessed.

Police units, Dartmoor National Park Rangers and members of Tavistock DSRT were deployed to search that area and she was located near Burrator reservoir just after 12.30pm.
