A search for a woman threatening self-harm at a Pembrokeshire beach involved police, Angle RNLI lifeboat and a Milford Haven Port Authority patrol vessel.

The alarm was raised on the afternoon of Thursday August 22, and the woman was on rocks by the water’s edge at Kilroom Beach, near South Hook Point.

Angle lifeboat was paged at 3.54pm, and in the meantime the Port Authority’s Dynevor had also been alerted and spotted the woman. When the lifeboat arrived on scene, the woman was with a police officer on the beach.

Angle RNLI posted on Facebook: “However, with access off the beach difficult, it was decided to extract both persons from the beach using the lifeboat’s Y boat.

“The crew soon deployed the Y boat and landed ashore on Kilroom. Following a brief discussion with the police, both persons were taken onboard the Y boat and taken out to the lifeboat.

“The crew then transferred both persons back to the Port Authority Jetty where the casualty was safely handed over to the police for onward care.

“The lifeboat was back alongside once again by 17:30.”
