ACC Sutherland said: "This is understandably hugely distressing for Mylo's family, friends and the wider community. | |
"While I know members of the public want to help, I would ask you not to search near the river for your own safety and to allow specialist teams to conduct this work in their profession. | |
"Instead, can I please ask you to speak directly to an officer at the scene." | |
