Morecambe’s lifeboat crew respond to late night call for help

Morecambe’s lifeboat crew responded to a call that someone was in the water late last night.

The RNLI volunteers received the shout just after 11pm on Monday (June 10), after being called out to reports of a person in the water near to the Stone Jetty.

The volunteers launched the inshore rescue hovercraft, with crew members conducting a full search of the area from the Stone Jetty to Heysham, alongside HM Coastguard and Lancashire Police.

There was nothing found in the search of the area and the team stood down.

The hovercraft was back at station and ready for service at 1.45am.

If you find yourself in an emergency situation or spot someone else in trouble, you should call 999 and ask for the coastguard.
