Reports of 'unexploded ordnance' in Sandown Bay prompted a call-out for coastguard teams over the weekend.

Bembridge Coastguard were alerted by a member of the public yesterday (Sunday).

After inspection, it was deemed to be a false alarm. 

A spokesperson said:

"On this occasion it was nothing more than a piece of concrete however the members of the public did the right thing by calling 999 and sharing their concerns with the Coastguard."

Teams were called at 2.08pm.
