It was a little after 6 p.m. Tuesday evening when the Regional Operational Center for Surveillance and Rescue (CROSS) Corsen was alerted by the gendarmes to the fall of a stroller into the sea. According to witnesses, a woman had just throw a stroller and a cozy from the top of the Albert-Louppe bridge, which connects Le Relecq-Kerhuon to Plougastel Daoulas, very close to Brest (Finistère).
At this moment, the emergency services do not know if a baby or a child is in the childcare equipment.
Significant rescue resources are then deployed to ensure that there are no casualties.
For two hours, the Civil Security Dragon 29 helicopter, a firefighter launch and two boats that were sailing nearby, were put to use.
A person suspected of having thrown the material was arrested by the gendarmes.
The latter would obviously have a psychiatric history.
More than two hours of research
Very quickly, the stroller and the cozy are found but no trace of a child.
"After more than two hours of research, in the absence of new elements and expressed concern, the search device at sea was lifted at 8:43 p.m.", subsequently specified the maritime prefecture of the Atlantic.
