At 04:36 Falmouth Coastguard requested that Falmouth Inshore Lifeboat be launched following a call from the police reporting shouting coming from the water between Boscawen Park and the quay at Truro. The Falmouth Coastguard Mobile was also tasked to assist along with a Police Dog Handler.

The Inshore Lifeboat launched from her slipway at 04:42 and having navigated the seven miles up the Fal and Truro Rivers arrived on scene at the Boscawen Park tidal gate at 05:01. A search of the area between Boscawen Park and Phoenix Wharf was commenced using the Inshore Lifeboat’s Night Sight Scope and Thermal Imaging Camera but no persons were located and at 05:46 the search was called off as both the Inshore Lifeboat and Coastguard team had carried out a thorough search.

The Inshore Lifeboat was back on its slipway by 06:14 where it was refuelled, rehoused and was ready for service by 06:30.
