The bodies of two men have been found in Eryri mountain range in north Wales after a large-scale search, police have said.

The men, aged 19 and 20, were reported missing on Wednesday, which sparked a search operation on the Eryri mountain range (Snowdonia).

Mountain rescue teams waded through snow and ice on Yr Wyddfa – also known as Snowdon – until the early hours of Thursday morning before resuming at 8am that day.

Both men were located and recovered, and their families have been informed, north Wales Police said on Saturday.
