A statement from Central Scotland Police said: "There was no trace of anyone in the water despite extensive searches in difficult conditions.

"At approximately 1am the search was called off after a 20-year-old man came forward to the police.

"He is currently in police custody and will be subject of a report to the procurator fiscal."
