A Spanish force spokesman told reporters: “The Civil Guard is continuing with the search operation for the young British man who went missing near the Masca area of the municipality of Buenavista del Norte in which different units are participating. In addition today several dog trainers and their expert dogs who have transferred from Madrid have joined the search. These dogs are specifically trained in searching for people over large swathes of land.”

They said: “Yes, of course it (conspiracy theories) is being investigated. From the beginning they have been considering all possibilities.”
Yesterday, Jay's family released a grainy CCTV image suggesting he might have been spotted in Tenerife's Santiago del Teide hours after he was said to have gone missing.
The Guardia Civil has not confirmed the sighting but told The Telegraph that “nothing has been ruled out”.
It comes as five unrelated Brits have made the journey to the Spanish island in search of Slater, whilst making online content about it.

“A lot of people play on the fact it’s people with social media profiles coming out here to search, we’re only here because we care about Jay,” Arnott said.
Online speculation that Jay has been kidnapped or is in hiding has grown, and a source close to Spain’s Guardia Civil said that conspiracy theories are being actively investigated

He added: "The difference is that specialisation in large expanses of land. The dogs that were already taking place in the operation were trained for searches in smaller areas."
British tourist Jay Slater went missing last week prompting a massive search effort for the teenager across the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands, Spain.
