Police surround 'impounded' boat as Bournemouth beach death investigation continues

A pleasure boat in Bournemouth has been sealed off by police officers as they continue to investigate the deaths of two children on Bournemouth beach. The boat, the Dorset Belle, has been moved to Cobb's Quay Marina in Poole and has reportedly been under a police cordon since yesterday (June 1).

Photos from the marina show a number of Dorset Police vehicles and officers around the boat. The Times reports Dorset Police have impounded the boat, with no one allowed onboard the vessel, although the force has said they are unable to confirm if it is linked to the investigation.

The vessel had made a number of trips around Bournemouth Pier on Wednesday (May 31), according to information from shipping sites. These include one close to the site of the incident that led to the deaths of a 12-year-old girl from Buckinghamshire and a 17-year-old boy from Southampton, DorsetLive reports.
