A POLICE helicopter was scrambled following a report of an object - thought to be an upside down vehicle - being seen in the River Wharfe near Tadcaster bridge this afternoon.
An aerial river search, with police officers and firefighters searching on the ground, failed to find any object, and nor was there any evidence of vehicles having entered the water upstream, said North Yorkshire Police.
The search was launched at just after 3pm and stood down about an hour later.
