🚨 **Alert at Lyme Regis Beach!** 🚨
Heads up, folks! An “explosive device” scare has led to the closure of the famed Lyme Regis beach in Dorset. 😱 Authorities have asked everyone to stay clear of the area for the time being.
Here’s what’s happened so far: Around 1pm, the Coastguard caught wind of a suspected explosive. In no time, the bomb squad, Coastguard Rescue Teams from Lyme Regis and West Bay, and Dorset Police were all hands on deck. The buzz? An Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team is already in action, ensuring that everyone stays safe.
The Lyme Regis Town Council assures there’s no immediate threat, but they’re urging beachgoers to cooperate and steer clear while the experts do their thing. They’ll keep us posted with updates, so keep your eyes peeled for more info!
History heads might recall that just last year, a similar commotion occurred when a supposed bomb was found nearby, which amusingly turned out to be just an old saucepan. 😅 Still, better safe than sorry!
Remember, if you stumble upon anything suspicious along the coast, dial 999 and request the Coastguard. Stay safe everyone, and let’s hope this scare turns out to be harmless! 🌊🔍
