Search teams have found the body of a boy in a river, police said.

Concerns were raised after the teenager failed to resurface after entering the River Waveney with friends in Beccles, Suffolk.

Police were called to Beccles Quay, off Fen Lane, just before 19:30 BST.

A Suffolk police spokeswoman said: "Searches were conducted and sadly the body of a teenage boy has now been located and recovered from the water."

Firefighters, ambulance crews and an air ambulance were in attendance, along with the coastguard.

The police spokeswoman added: "The death is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner in due course.

"The boy's next of kin have been notified."
