A vehicle has been recovered from the River Nene as searches continue for a missing 18-year-old man.

Cambridgeshire Police, with the support of specialist diving teams, recovered a blue Volkswagen Polo from the river in Wisbech St Mary on Sunday.

However, the force is still searching for 18-year-old Declan Berry, believed to have been driving the car, and confirmed that no other people were found inside the vehicle.

Detective Inspector Craig Wheeler, from the Road Policing Unit, said: "We are still actively searching for Declan along the River Nene. We continue to support his family, who were present today when the vehicle was recovered."

Emergency services were called to North Brink at around 20:20 GMT on Tuesday following reports that a car carrying five people had entered the water.

The body of 16-year-old Eden Bunn, from Sutton Bridge in Lincolnshire, was recovered by divers on Wednesday. She is believed to have been a rear-seat passenger in the vehicle.

Three other young people, including two 16-year-old girls and an 18-year-old boy, escaped the car and were taken to hospital.

The police are appealing for witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage to come forward.
