A body has been recovered during a search for a missing person in North Antrim. 

Both the PSNI and Community Rescue Service were tasked to the call near the Stranocum and Dervock areas shortly after 7am this morning. 

A body was located in the River Bush a short time later. 

Sean McCarry, Regional Manager for the Community Rescue Service says it's believed to be the missing person reported and they are not looking for anyone else. 

 

Mr McCarry says his thoughts and condolences go out to the friends and family of the deceased person at this difficult time. 

Meanwhile, he is also urging people to be careful when around water. 

"We've been very busy, this is the ninth call we have responded to in seven days. 

"We are very very busy and we would ask everyone to be careful and cautious around water, particularly at this time of year."
