Early search for missing people - VIDEO
Aberystwyth Lifeboat was tasked in the early hours of Sunday morning, to reports of missing people by Constitution Hill.
The lifeboat searched below the cliff between Clarach and Aberystwyth North Beach, while Coastguard teams from Borth and Aberystwyth searched inland. White parachute rocket flares were fired to assist with the search. Rescue 122, a Sea King search and rescue helicopter from RAF Valley joined the search along with New Quay's All weather, Mersey class Lifeboat. Nothing was found and with the weather worsening, and all search assets were stood down and returned to their respective stations.
