Hopes Fading For Missing Welsh Schoolboy

Hopes Fading For Missing Welsh Schoolboy

The search for a missing 11-year-old in south-west Wales has entered its seventh day.

Cameron Comey, from Carmarthen, was last seen playing with his brother near the River Towy late on Tuesday afternoon.

A major search and rescue operation was launched by Dyfed-Powys Police after reports he had fallen into the water.

The response has involved a specialist underwater search team, a Mountain Rescue kayak team and a sonar dive team.

Their work has been made more difficult by bad weather conditions and high tides.

Dyfed-Powys Police said: "There is a detailed search plan in place, and we are working through that meticulously.

"The start and end times of the search operation each day depends on tide times and water levels, as well as the overall weather conditions.

"A specially trained officer continues to support the family and is keeping them informed at this incredibly difficult time."

On Sunday evening, around 350 people attended a candle-lit vigil for the schoolboy on King Morgan bridge.
