The GES helicopter is searching this Monday afternoon for a missing man on Las Cocinitas beach, near Caletón Blanco, as reported by CECOES.
The man's wife was the one who alerted the authorities after her husband went shellfish gathering "more than three and a half hours ago", assuring that he normally does not take so long.
In addition, the man did not have his mobile phone with him and was wearing dark gray swim trunks and a dark navy blue lycra shirt. He was also wearing a kind of apron to pick winkles.
In the search operation there are 3 rapid intervention vehicles, an ambulance, an emergency truck, an Emerlan drone unit as well as firefighters, Local Police and Civil Guard.
The troops are scouring the area on foot, in the sea with jet skis and with the help of a drone to see if they can locate him before nightfall.
