Four bodies recovered in the search for missing British teenagers in North Wales were found in a car that was on its roof and partially submerged in water, police have said.
Officers had been looking for Jevon Hirst, Harvey Owen, Wilf Henderson and Hugo Morris, who were missing since Sunday morning.
Police have given the ages of the teenagers but did not confirm their identities – saying one was 16, two were 17 and another was 18.
North Wales Police said their bodies were recovered from a silver Ford Fiesta which appears to have left the road on the A4085 at Garreg, near Tremadog.
The force said enquiries were ongoing to establish the circumstances that led to the car leaving the road.
Police have said the teenagers are believed to have travelled to Harlech on Saturday, with plans to camp at Eryri, also known as Snowdonia, on Sunday.
Police began a large search after first receiving reports of four missing teenagers at 3pm on Monday, police said.
At 10am yesterday, a member of the public in a ‘fairly high vehicle’ contacted police after spotting a car that had left the road, Superintendent Owain Llewellyn said.
