Four teeagers led to safety during Ten Tors training

Four teenagers have been found safe and well after they became separated from the adults they were with while training for Ten Tors.

The alarm was raised at 7.45pm on Saturday 9 March 2013 when the missing youngsters rang the police, but were unable to give their exact location. Although dressed appropriately, they had no shelter with them.

The weather prevented the force helicopter from lifting, and the Dartmoor Rescue Group was called in to take part in the search.

Through careful questioning of the missing people the officers organised a systematic search and found them just after midnight at Fernworthy Forest, suffering from the effects of the cold. All four were allowed home once checked by medical staff.
