Tide considerations | |
People were urged to stay away from the shore for their own safety. | |
Police said people had been out on the river and although officers "understand their willingness to help, it is not a safe environment and could hamper the co-ordinated search". | |
Official searches were being carried out taking weather and tides into consideration, the force said. | |
Officers were due to return on Saturday morning and carry out further searches on the foreshore, it added. | |
Police said it was believed Jordan, a year 11 student at Stoke Damerel Community College, had been with a group of friends as the ferry was approaching Torpoint when he jumped. | Police said it was believed Jordan, a year 11 student at Stoke Damerel Community College, had been with a group of friends as the ferry was approaching Torpoint when he jumped. |
