Two RNLI lifeboats helped locate a missing person off the coast of Weston-super-Mare yesterday evening (Wednesday, March 16). The two lifeboats joined police in trying to locate the individual, who was eventually found on Brean Down.
Whilst one lifeboat was launched from the crews base at Knightstone harbour, another was already at sea, conducting routine training exercises before being called out to assist the search. Thankfully, the person was located soon after and the lifeboats could return to base, reports Somerset Live.
A spokesperson for the RNLI said: "The call-out was because a missing person was thought to be somewhere on Brean Down. One of our lifeboats was already at sea, training, so they went and we also launched our other lifeboat. Fairly soon the police found the missing person and so both our boats were stood down."
