The Helimer helicopter and Maritime Rescue have participated since the early hours of this Tuesday in an operation to search for a dinghy with about 30 people on board that had been adrift north of the island of Lanzarote.
According to information gathered by La Voz de Lanzarote, the operation was activated around 4:30 AM this Tuesday, July 14. Initially, the Helimer helicopter took off to try to locate the precarious vessel.
