Police have launched an urgent investigation after they received a report relating to a person’s welfare this morning (Tuesday).

Concerns were raised by a third party in Marlborough, with officers deployed to the popular woodland beauty spot a short time later.

Savernake Forest was cordoned off as searches were carried out in the area. There appeared to be a focus on an orange Dacia parked on the site.
