Additional Marine Rescue NSW crews tasked to assist search for missing child at The Entrance

More assets and volunteers from Marine Rescue Tuggerah Lakes and Lake Macquarie have been tasked to assist day three of the multi-agency search for a missing child at The Entrance.

Marine Rescue NSW Inspector Courtney Greenslade said vessels and crews from Marine Rescue Norah Head and Terrigal resumed the search at 8am today.

“Norah Head 20 and Terrigal 30 are conducting an offshore parallel line search with a NSW Water Police vessel while three more Marine Rescue NSW assets are being added to the search,” she said.

Marine Rescue Tuggerah Lakes vessel TL 20 and rescue watercraft (jet skis) have been tasked to search waters on Tuggerah Lake.

Inspector Greenslade said TL 20 has just been deployed while two Marine Rescue Lake Macquarie rescue watercraft (RWC) and their operators will be on water shortly after departing the Marine Rescue Lake Macquarie Pelican base at 11am.

“TL 20 and the RWCs will focus on areas in Tuggerah Lake as directed by NSW Police Marine Area Command,” Inspector Greenslade said.
