COASTGUARD officers were called to assist with an incident in Deeside on Thursday night.

The Flint-based Coastguard team were given the call by UK Coastguard to assist the North Flintshire policing team and Cheshire and North Wales police dogs unit with an incident at Dock Road, in Connah’s Quay.

A spokesman for the team confirmed that, after a short while, the incident had safely concluded and all units were able to stand down.

It was recorded that the Flint R.N.L.I Lifeboat was also tasked to assist but stood down prior to launching.
