Sea search for teenager after kayak capsizes
GoogleA search is ongoing for a 19-year-old man who is believed to have died after going into the sea.
Officers were called by HM Coastguard at about 21:15 BST on Tuesday, following reports of a man being in the water near Boulmer, Northumberland.
Police said a kayak carrying two men capsized, and one man was able to swim to a buoy before being rescued by the Coastguard.
Ch Insp Jon Caisley, said: "Searches continue but due to challenging circumstances, we are not able to provide any timescales around our efforts to recover the man."
He said his thoughts were with the man's loved ones who were being supported.
For their own safety, members of the public are being asked not to attend the scene to conduct their own searches and allow trained professionals to continue their efforts, Caisley said.
