A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a body was found in a marina.
Devon and Cornwall Police said Drew Perham, 24, was reported missing on Saturday after he failed to return home from a night out in Plymouth on Friday.
Searches were carried out, and a body was found in the water at Millbay Marina on Sunday. Formal identification is yet to take place, but Perham’s family have been informed.
Police said a 19-year old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in police custody.
Det Supt James Dowler said their thoughts were with Perham’s family during this “unbelievably difficult time”.
He urged people to avoid speculating.
“This investigation has been very fast-paced, and the community will be aware of the significant policing presence that has been in the Millbay area as our inquiries have progressed throughout the day,” he said.
“This will continue in the coming days.”
Police have urged people who were in the Millbay area between 01:00 GMT and 04:00 GMT on Saturday to get in touch with them.
