River Search For Boy, 11, Suspended

A major search for an 11-year-old boy who is believed to have fallen into a river in Wales has been called off for a second night.

Emergency services were alerted just before 4pm on Tuesday after the boy, who has not been identified, fell into the River Towy in the Tanerdy area of Carmarthen.

Police, firefighters, a coastguard rescue team, the Ferryside inshore lifeboat crew and an RAF Sea King rescue helicopter have been involved in the search.

Inspector Eric Evans of Dyfed-Powys Police said officers were "fairly confident" the boy had gone into the water.

The search will resume on Thursday, a force spokeswoman said.

The boy's family is being supported by officers.

Boats from the Mid Wales Fire and Rescue Service also took part in the search, alongside an independent rescue crew from Ferryside.
