River search continues
Culham Lock at Sutton Courtenay, near Abingdon
Police searched the area around Culham Lock
The search for a 12-year-old boy believed to have fallen into the Thames has entered its fourth day.

Nathan Monaghan from Didcot was fishing with a friend on Saturday when he fell into the river at Culham Lock at Sutton Courtenay, near Abingdon in Oxfordshire.

His friend, also aged 12, ran for help after Nathan fell off a weir and hit his head.

Divers assisted by boats from the Environment Agency were searching on Tuesday.

Thames Valley Police has called in officers from Abingdon, Didcot and Wantage to help find the boy.

Poor weather conditions have hampered the operation since Sunday.
