Two bodies have been found in the search for missing people after a boat capsized in Devon.

Devon and Cornwall Police said the bodies had been found after a major operation at Roadford Lake in Lewdown, Okehampton using specialist equipment and resources in and over the water, on land, and with drones.

The families of two people who had been unaccounted for following the incident have been informed and are being supported by trained officers.

They have yet to be formally identified.

Earlier, two other people of the party were rescued from the water and taken to Derriford Hospital.

One person has since been discharged and another remains in hospital critically injured.

It’s understood all people on board the boat were adults and local to Devon.
