A suspicious package has been found floating in the water off the coast of St Davids.
St David's Coastguard and police were notified of the discovery at 3.05pm yesterday, when a Venture Jet tripper boat spotted the unusual package and hauled it on board.
Skipper and co-owner of Venture Jet, Beth Swan, told Western Telegraph how a passenger on board cut open the plastic packaging to discover a white powder.
