Yacht Aground

At 1208 today we were tasked to a yacht that had run aground on the sandbank opposite Perch Light.

We made our way to Deganwy to locate and keep observations on the vessel. As we observed the vessel, 3 people could be seen around the boat and then starting to walk towards West Shore. We made our way to the West Shore and spoke to the Conwy Council Seaboard Inspector to make him aware of the situation.

We then went to meet the 3 people from the boat to make sure they did not require any assistance. After ensuring that they would be comfortable attempting to re float the vessel at high tide we left them with safety advice and headed back to station.

Controlled Explosion

At 1505 this afternoon we were tasked by North Wales Police to the beach at West Shore to assist with clearing the beach in readiness for a controlled explosion.

We arrived on scene and were able to clear the beach and assist in establishing a 100 meter exclusion zone.

Shortly after 1545 the Royal Logistics Corps Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team arrived from a property in Deganwy where the ordnance was found and set up their equipment ready for a controlled explosion on the beach.

Shortly after 1620 a controlled explosion took place and the beach was made safe for public use before we returned to station.
