Police investigating the disappearance of a 14-year-old girl who was last seen in difficulty in the sea have recovered a body.
Hollie McClymont, from Glasgow, was reported missing after going swimming off Barry Island in South Wales on Sunday.
More than 40 specialist officers were deployed in the search for the missing teenager, as well as a helicopter and coastguards.
Chief Inspector Marc Lamerton, of South Wales Police, confirmed that a body had been recovered in Fontygary, a small seaside village three miles southwest of Barry.
"The body has not been formally identified," he said.
"But the family of Hollie McClymont, who was reported missing on Sunday afternoon, have been informed of this development and our thoughts are with them at this difficult time."
Steffan Wiliam, a Barry resident and Plaid Cymru councillor at the local Vale of Glamorgan Council, said: "This is awful, awful news - the nightmare scenario we have all been worrying about.
"If it is confirmed that it is the missing teenager, this is the most awful news we could have had."
Hollie had gone to South Wales with her mother, Sarah, for a holiday.
Police said they chose the area because they have relatives there.
The teenager was seen getting into difficulty at about 2.45pm on Sunday at Whitmore Bay, a popular destination for sun-seekers.
Coastguards said they were not alerted for an hour, something they said they were "dumfounded" by.
