Coastguard Teams Called To Flashing Light Reports In Bembridge

Reports of a flashing light on the coast have prompted a callout for Ventnor Coastguard Rescue Team this evening (Thursday).

Teams were tasked to the scene in Bembridge just before 8pm after an onlooker spotted the light.

Coastguard members are searching the coastline for any signs of anybody in distress either on shore or at sea.

UPDATED 21:19:

With nothing untoward found during the search, teams have now been stood down.

HM Coastguard reminds people to always report anything you believe could be someone in difficulty at sea or on the coast by calling them on 999.
