Fears over 'unlicensed' burning of waste on a beach in Bembridge prompted a call-out for emergency services.

Police, firefighters and coastguard teams were called to Point Beach at 5.35pm yesterday (Tuesday).

Advice was given to those who had built a bonfire, which included parts of a broken boat.

Posting on Twitter, Bembridge Coastguard said:

"Burning of unlicensed waste on our beaches will be challenged and enforcement used if necessary."
