A kayak has been found in the search for a teenager who went missing while canoeing near King's Lynn.
A specialist dive team from the Metropolitan Police reportedly found the capsized kayak yesterday afternoon.
The 18-year-old’s canoe was seen to capsize on the Middle-Level Main Drain in Wiggenhall St Germans at around 3.50pm on Sunday.
Sonar was used by the specialist teams as emergency services carried out riverbank searches by foot in the area which is currently cordoned off.
The divers assisted Norfolk Constabulary, Norfolk Fire and Rescue and Lowland Fire and Rescue continued their search today.
Detective Chief Inspector Chris Banks said: “We are doing everything we can alongside other emergency services and will support those involved.
"Our thoughts are with the teenager’s family and friends who are going through a distressing time.
"We would ask the public to avoid the search area at this time and are grateful for your help.”
