The search for a missing RSPCA inspector who disappeared during storm Imogen has been called off.

Inspector Mike Reid has not been seen since he was called to a rescue involving 20 to 30 gannets stranded on rocks Porthchapel Beach, near Penzance, on Sunday.

His family reported him missing on Monday when he failed to return home from duty.

BBC News report that the Maritime and Coastguard Agency has called off the search “until further information becomes available”.

A spokesman said: "Land's End and Penzance Coastguard Rescue Teams, the RNLI Penlee lifeboat, Devon and Cornwall Police and the police helicopter have conducted a comprehensive land and sea search in the area and nothing has been found."

Mike, aged 54 from Redruth, is described as white, 5ft 8ins in height, of stocky build with short greying spiked hair. He was wearing black trousers, a white shirt and black jumper.

Anyone with information about Mike’s whereabouts is asked to call 999 quoting reference 106 of 8 February.
