Search and rescue for teenage boys in the sea near Rustington

On Friday (July 10), two teenagers had been rowing a small inflatable near the beach in Rustington, but had got into difficulty and were now in the water, the Littlehampton RNLI said.

Following a request from HM Coastguard, the charity’s Renee Sherman lifeboat was launched at 6.09pm, but after an initial search failed to find the boys it was then confirmed that they had made it back to the beach.
