"The first informant was thanked for their vigilance and taking the correct action and reporting it."
The call out happened on Tuesday, April 20.
Both teams were also called on last night, Wednesday, April 21, after Northumbria Police asked to locate a missing person in the Newbiggin area, who was found a short time after the search efforts began.
