A desperate search for a 15-year-old boy swept off rocks at a NSW beach entered its second day as authorities and volunteers combed the coastline in a bid to find the missing teenager. The search and rescue operation began on Tuesday afternoon after the boy’s friends alerted authorities shortly after 3pm, sparking a frantic effort to locate the young boy.
According to eyewitnesses, the boy was walking along the rocks with his friends when a large wave crashed against the shore, sweeping him off his feet and into the ocean. His friends immediately raised the alarm, but by the time emergency services arrived, the boy had vanished beneath the surface.
Police and rescue teams launched a massive search operation, scouring the coastline and searching the ocean for any sign of the missing boy. The search effort involved multiple agencies, including the police, surf lifesavers, and volunteer rescue teams, who worked tirelessly throughout the night and into the second day.
As the search continued, the boy’s family and friends waited anxiously for news, their hopes and fears hanging in the balance. The community has rallied around the family, offering support and prayers for the safe return of the missing teenager.
The incident serves as a grim reminder of the dangers of the ocean and the importance of being vigilant when swimming or walking along the coastline. Authorities have warned people to exercise extreme caution when visiting the beach, particularly during rough seas and strong currents.
As the search for the missing boy enters its second day, the community remains hopeful that he will be found safe and sound. The incident has shaken the small coastal town, and residents are holding their breath as they wait for news of the boy’s fate.
The search operation is expected to continue throughout the day, with authorities urging anyone with information or who may have seen the boy to come forward. The community is coming together to support the family and the search effort, and a fundraising campaign has been launched to help cover the costs of the search and rescue operation.
