Search for Police suspect in the river

The Police requested, via the Coast Guard, that the Inshore Lifeboat crew launch to assist them in searching for a man in his 20's who had evaded them by jumping into Galmpton Creek. He was located by the crew and a Police dog handler on the foreshore near Sandyridge Boat House. The lifeboat conveyed two Police officers to the scene and then they and the suspect were transported back to Dartside Quay where the casualty was treated by Paramedics for injuries to his legs.
