Barry Dock RNLI

Two missing people were rescued by lifeboat crews during two overnight shouts.

The RNLI at Barry Dock was called out at just after midnight on Tuesday morning, following reports of a missing person described as "potentially on or near the water" at Nell's Point.

The D-class inshore lifeboat carried out a search of the shoreline from the harbour before the missing person was found safe and well.

The inshore lifeboat was called out again at just before 1.10am on Wednesday morning when a second missing person was reported by the Coastguard. They were later found inland and receieved the necessary help before the RNLI volunteer crew was stood down.
