Surfers saved in sea drama

TWO men were caught in a rip current which carried them offshore while surfing off Belhaven Bay in Dunbar.

The Dunbar inshore lifeboat was launched to collect the men, thought to be in their 30s, and one received treatment from paramedics. The other man did not require treatment.

The coastguard received the 999 call at 8.15pm last night.
