Mum heartbroken as son still missing after river fall

The mother of a 20-year-old man who was last seen falling into a river says she is "devastated and heartbroken".

Jake Jones, from Sedbury in Gloucestershire, has been missing since he fell into the River Wye in Monmouthshire on Monday.

Gloucestershire Police has centred search efforts between the M48 and A48, south of Chepstow.

"We are asking everyone to be vigilant and keep a look out for our boy," Mr Jones' mother Louise Jones said.

Officers have urged anyone who was in the area between 17:00 BST and 18:30 BST on Monday who may have information to contact them.

They also want to speak to anyone who was on a boat or saw a boat during this time.

Chepstow, Penarth and Portishead coastguard teams have all been involved in the search, along with the Severn Area Rescue Association and a rescue helicopter.

Gloucestershire Police added that searches were also being undertaken with colleagues from Gwent Police and National Police Air Service.

Ms Jones thanked emergency services for their efforts.
