Teams from Hereford and Worcester Fire Service and West Mercia Police were spotted in Diglis in the early hours of Sunday morning (May 15).
A spokesperson for the fire service confirmed they had assisted the police in their efforts, but that no one had been found.
They said two boats, two regular crews and a fire officer had all attended the scene, with the search taking place at around 1.30am.

They said they could also see torches shining along the canal at that time too.
