Frantic searches for man seen in lakes where boy found dead
The man was seen on Wednesday
Emergency crews have been frantically searching a lake for a man who was reported to be in the water at the same spot where a teenager recently died.
The alarm was raised on Wednesday around 9pm by a member of the public who heard and saw the man at Testwood Lakes near Calmore in the New Forest.
The search, involving the police helicopter and a boat, has so far found nothing with no one reported missing as the mystery continues.
A 15-year-old swimmer died at Testwood Lakes with his body found after a three-day search in June.
Hampshire police said: "One of the key lines of inquiry we are pursuing is whether the man reported to us left the water and the area before emergency services arrived.
"At this stage, we cannot rule out any possibility and information from members of the public could be vital in helping us understand the circumstances."
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust said in a statement: "We are extremely concerned to hear of an incident at Testwood Lakes.
"We join the police in asking people to please avoid the area at this time."
The trust does not allow swimming at any of its sites.
