Police are currently on the lookout for a man who disappeared at a lake yesterday, with police divers and helicopters reportedly participating in the search. The incident occurred on Sunday evening at Llyn Geirionydd, a 45-acre lake located in Snowdonia, Wales. Emergency services responded to the situation after the alarm was raised around 7.10pm. Despite extensive searches conducted overnight, the man remains missing, and his family has been informed.
Search operations will persist at the lake, with heightened emergency service presence to aid in the ongoing efforts. Witnesses observed a helicopter circling the lake at approximately 8pm, and locals reported a substantial emergency response, including the presence of police divers at the scene.
Just eleven days ago, the body of a 21-year-old man was retrieved from the same lake. Llyn Geirionydd is a popular spot for water sports enthusiasts, attracting kayakers and being the sole lake within Eryri National Park where speedboats are allowed.
North Wales Police has advised the public to avoid the lake area during the search. They have notified the immediate family of the missing individual and are providing support. The spokesperson emphasized the importance of allowing emergency services to conduct their operations smoothly and urged anyone who was present at the lake on the evening of the incident to reach out to the authorities if they have not already done so.
