The third call out for the team within 24 hours, was at the request of Cleveland Police to provide assistance in the search for a vulnerable missing person in the Redcar Area. Initially, a team member, local to the area, deployed to recce a meeting point and to gather further information from the police in the area. Based on the information supplied, the team deployed both Land Rovers and the Incident Control vehicle to a location on the outskirts of Redcar, with other team members making their own way to the location.
