A TEENAGE girl who had been drinking was found after a search by the RNLI and the police helicopter.

The 16-year-old was reported missing by friends at 10.59pm last night soon after she entered the water by Rockley Park.

The Poole RNLI Inshore and all weather lifeboats were asked to search the water and Poole Coastguard Rescue Officers searched the shoreline.

The Dorset police helicopter was also called out.

A Coastguard spokesman said: “The girl was eventually located on the shore by members of the public, conscious and breathing.

“She was looked after by Police until an ambulance arrived to assess her condition.”
