Police divers recover items from the Kilda fishing boat that vanished off Lewis as two crewmen remain missing
Norman 'Tam' Murray, 40, and Murdo Morrison, 23, have not been found since the Kilda disappeared near Port of Ness on 13 October. Their crewmate Douglas Craigie, 49, was pulled from the sea at around 2.45am the next day. The items were found in an area believed to be where the boat was last fishing. The Marine Accident Investigation Branch exclusion zone was lifted at 11.59pm on Thursday.
Inspector Neil Taylor urged the public not to search areas that 'put you at risk of harm'.
A GoFundMe for the families has raised more than £148,000, beating its £110,000 target.
Police call it a 'complex operation' and ask for 'time and space' to finish their inquiries.
