Search and Rescue Teams in Mid Wales are continuing to search for a woman after reports that two women were seen in a river. 

Sadly, the body of one of the women has been recovered. 

From Dyfed-Powys Police:

“A large scale search of the Ystradfellte Falls area in South Wales has been taking place over the past 24 hours after it was reported two people were seen in the river.

“The fire service, mountain rescue and National Police Air Support have all been involved in looking for two women believed to be those spotted by a walker.

“High, fast-flowing water meant the search was called off yesterday evening, however it resumed today at first light.

“Sadly, we can confirm the body of a woman was recovered from the river.

“Support is being offered to both families at this tragic time. Efforts are ongoing to locate a second woman, who is also believed to be in the river.”
