Police have found a car four missing teenagers were travelling in during a camping trip in Wales amid freezing temperatures.
Jevon Hirst, Harvey Owen, Wilf Henderson and Hugo Morris are thought to have been travelling in the Harlech and Porthmadog areas of Gwynedd when they disappeared.
North Wales Police believe the teenagers had gone camping in the Snowdonia area and a huge search operation involving helicopters, the coastguard and mountain rescue teams has been launched.
In an update issued just after midday on Tuesday, the force said: “Officers searching for four missing teenagers in the Porthmadog area have located the vehicle they were travelling in.
“Emergency services are currently at the location and the families of those involved have been kept updated.”
Temperatures in the area plummeted to zero overnight and worried friends and family say they were only equipped with basic camping supplies because they were just going for one night.
Harvey’s mother Crystal Owen told the BBC: I am frantically worried, we haven’t slept a wink, we are desperate to chase any lead we can.”
They were last seen in the silver Ford Fiesta, registration HY14 GVO.
