A rescue helicopter was called out to The Basin last night.
MANY residents on the west side of town may have seen a rescue service helicopter hovering over the canal area on St Stephen’s night at around 10pm.
Apparently a member of the public reported that a woman had fallen into the canal while out jogging and as a result the helicopter and two coast guard units were dispatched.
Thankfully, it turned out to be a false alarm and a genuine error on the part of the person who reported it.
Saw this last night was horrified to think of soneone in the water thank God it was a false alarm!
