Emergency services including the Coastguard, RNLI, the police and paramedics rushed to Cleethorpes beach this morning as part of a rescue mission.

The coastguard received a call from Humberside Police requesting assistance at around 04:24.

A search was commenced immediately.

In a Facebook post by Cleethorpes Coastguard, a spokesperson wrote:

“To assist us with any type of search, whether its for a person or a suspicious object, you can assist us by having a location indicating app on your phone, something like What3Words.

“In a Coastal Emergency, dail 999 and ask for the #coastguard”
