A body has been found today (May 22) off the coast of Penarth in the search for a missing man.

The body is believed to be a man called Victor, 56, from Pucklechurch in Gloucestershire, but the body still needs to be formally identified.

A statement from Avon and Somerset Police said: "A body was today rescued from water in South Wales. Although formal identification is yet to be complete, we do believe it to be Victor.

"His family have been informed of today's sad development and our thoughts are with them at this difficult time.

"Enquiries will continue to be carried out on behalf of the coroner. The circumstances of the death are not believed to be suspicious."

Victor was reported missing on May 12 after his family were concerned that they had not heard from him since the previous day.
