Soft sands - sudden stop!

On the 22nd March 2018 a police car ventured onto the sands at Holme-next-the-Sea beach - possibly to investigate reports of an unexploded device found there. The vehicle soon became stuck in the soft sands. A second police car arrived full of good intentions to rescue the first but, sadly, this second vehicle also became bogged down to join its mate at axle depth. Eventually a vehicle more suited to playing on the sand was called into action, the cars were recovered and the beach returned to the more usual state of peace and quiet...

Fortunately, a local dog walker, Carol Comer, was present to record the saga - many thanks for the pics.
