The search for a 15-year-old boy missing after going swimming in a lake has entered a third day.

The boy was last seen in the water at Testwood Lakes, near Totton, Hampshire on Wednesday at about 13:35 BST.

Police, including marine teams, have been carrying out extensive searches at the 150-acre nature reserve since he went missing.

The reserve, owned by Southern Water and managed by Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust, remains closed with people urged to avoid the area.

In a statement, Testwood Lakes said it was "extremely concerned" to hear of the "serious incident".
