TWO bodies have been recovered from the sea off the north Wales coast, police confirmed today.
The bodies have not been formally identified but the discovery follows a search for two climbers - a 48-year-old man from Sussex and a 21-year-old man from Hampshire - who had been climbing in the North Stack area of Holyhead, Anglesey, yesterday, police said.
The men were reported missing around 10.15pm last night.
A search operation involving RAF 22 Squadron, the Coastguard and North Wales Police was stopped at 1am this morning and resumed at first light.
A police spokesman said:''The bodies were located in the sea shortly after 7.15am today. The North West Wales Coroner will be informed.
''There is no more information available at this time.''
