A man missing since December, 29 has been found safe and well following extensive searches.

Daniel Dawes, 32, was found on January, 9, 11 days after disappearing from his home in Ivybridge. A police spokesman said: “His family were overwhelmed with all the help and support and state he can now get the help he requires. This is a fantastic result. Thank you all for your help.”

The search for Daniel saw a police helicopter and drone airborne at the same time on Saturday, January, 6, with volunteers from Dartmoor Search and Rescue as well as local people on the ground. Fears grew for his after the search failed to find him and temperatures plummeted.
