ENQUIRIES are still ongoing following a search through the night during Storm Brendan for an unlocated person.

UK Coastguard deployed a helicopter and two local rescue teams — Needles and Ventnor — on Tuesday night.

They were searching for a person in the Blackgang and Niton area, and completed a full search from Atherfield to Niton in poor weather conditions.

A spokesperson for the Isle of Wight Police said at the time: "We were called to a report of a concern for welfare at Blackgang Chine and, with the assistance of the Coastguard and NPAS helicopter, attended to carry out a search of the area."

Police have since updated to confirm no person was found during the search.

They said: "We received a report of a concern for welfare and enquiries are ongoing.

"No person was found at the scene when we attended."
