Missing 51 year old man from Scotland was rescued after he was found 'tired and disorientated' by a team of officers looking for 19 year old Jay Slater
Spanish police searching Tenerife for missing Lancashire teenager Jay Slater ended up rescuing a different missing Brit who had become "tired and disoriented" after getting trapped in a gorge.
The officers paused their search for Jay and managed to locate the Scottish man at the Asomada Gorge. A spokesperson for the local police, employed by the Buenavista del Norte town hall , said: "Officers acting alongside a Civil Protection mountain rescue team have helped rescue a Scottish hiker aged 51 in the Asomada Gorge in the Los Carrizales neighbourhood.
"They alerted officers who were at that moment involved in the search for young Jay Slater. He was found tired and disorientated by the officers and the rescue team who helped him out of the gorge." They expressed their gratitude, saying: "We want to thank the local residents who alerted us to this situation because the difficulty of the terrain and lack of phone cover in the area meant this hiker would not have been able to get out alone and without the help he received."
