Air and sea searches for a man who fell from a boat off the Dorset coast have been stood down.
David Haw, 24, from Sussex, went overboard from a rigid inflatable boat in Poole Harbour just before 2am on Monday.
Coastguard teams, a search and rescue helicopter and the RNLI had all been working alongside police and specialist divers.
Dorset Police said its targeted searches had been completed and had used “significant resources” – and it would continue to “respond to any information that becomes available”.
Superintendent Gemma Morris said: “We have carried out intensive water and land-based searches of the Poole Harbour area over the past two days with air support.
“These searches have been informed by extensive technical modelling and expert input and we have used significant resources with support from our partner agencies to thoroughly search all the areas identified, but very sadly we have so far been unable to find David.
“While both the wide and targeted searches are now complete, we will continue in our efforts and inquiries to find David and will respond to any information that becomes available to us.
