Porthcawl RNLI’s volunteer crew were tasked by HM Coastguard in the early hours following a request for assistance from South Wales Police.

They had concern that 4 teenagers may have entered the water at Newton Point. Both Porthcawl’s D Class Hugo Missen and Atlantic 85 Rose of the Shires were launched on service to conduct a search along with Coastguard Rescue Helicopter 187 and Coastguard rescue teams from Porthcawl, Port Talbot and Llantwit.

All search teams were eventually stood down when the helicopter located the 4 teenagers inland.
