Missing fisherman found at his place of business

HUDIKSVALL, Sweden, Aug. 6 (UPI) -- Swedish rescuers searched for a man whose mother reported him missing when he failed to return from a fishing trip and he was found to have gone to work.

Swedish Maritime Administration spokeswoman Cecilia Wegnelius said the 20-year-old man had gone fishing Monday night in his motorboat on the Basfjarden inlet outside of Hudiksvall and his mother reported him missing around 2 a.m. Tuesday when he failed to return home, The Local.se reported Tuesday.

Sea rescue teams searched the water for hours without any sign of the man or his boat and they were preparing to mobilize a helicopter when the man was found to have gone to work and taken his boat with him.

"He turned up at work; that was where he had taken his boat. His mother had planned to give him a ride to work, so she raised the alarm that he was gone," Wegnelius said.
