“Officers from the South Coast Police District responded and commenced an extensive search of the water and surrounding area, with assistance from Marine Area Command, Surf Life Savers, State Emergency Services and the Westpac Helicopter,” they said.
“Despite an extensive search of the water and surrounding land, the 60-year-old man from Victoria was not located, and the search was suspended at 1 pm today.”
