Spanish search teams gather for sixth day in hunt for Jay Slater
The Lancashire teenager continues to remain missing on Tenerife
Spanish search teams have gathered on the island of Tenerife for a sixth day as the hunt for missing Lancashire teenager Jay Slater.
The 19-year-old disappeared after he attempted to walk 10 hours back to his accommodation after missing the last bus back to Los Christianos.
Since then, the teenager has gone missing without a trace, though eyewitnesses had previously spotted him towards a village as he tried to make his way back.
Kicking off the sixth day of searching, officers have congregated at the Rural de Teno Park in the south of the island on Saturday (June 22nd), with rescue dogs and firefighters joining in the operation to locate the teenager from Oswaldtwistle.
The ongoing search came after the administrator of a Facebook group set up to help find the teenager said that someone had logged into his Instagram account - and it was not Jay himself.
Rachel Louise Harg said that those who had "hacking" the social media accounts of Jay and his family were "sick in the head".
She added that several fundraising campaigns have helped to raise some £26,000 for the family as they continue to wait for news.
It comes as Spanish authorities continue to comb through the area for any potential information that could lead to his whereabouts.
Lancashire Police have said they made an offer of helping Spain's Guardia Civil in the search for the teenager - but this was rejected by authorities in Spain.
In a statement, Lancashire Police said: "Whilst this case falls outside the jurisdiction of UK policing, we have made an offer of support to the Guardia Civil to see if they need any additional resources.
"They have confirmed that at this time they are satisfied that they have the resources they need, but that offer remains open and they will contact us should that position change."
