A BODY has been found in the search for a missing man from Playing Place.

Police have said the family of Simon Trevaskis, who has not been seen for almost three weeks, have been made aware of the discovery.

Officers were called to Penelewey, near Feock, at 2.40pm yesterday following reports that a body had been found.

Formal identification has yet to take place and police are not currently treating this death as suspicious.

Police and coastguard search and rescue teams have been conducting a rigorous search of that area for more than two weeks, ever since 36-year-old Mr Trevaskis went missing in the early hours of Thursday, July 19.
