BOTH Rhyl RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) lifeboats launched last night (April 20) as part of a search for a missing person believed to be on the beach between Rhyl and Abergele.

The all-weather boat and the inshore boat both launched at 9pm, tasked with assisting North Wales Police and Rhyl Coastguard Rescue Team in the search.

North Wales Police confirmed that the incident was mental health-related.

Rhyl Coastguard made no further comment when approached.
