Summer dippers targeted in extra Marina patrols

Hull’s Marina will be patrolled more over the summer to try to stop people jumping in.

Humberside Police fear people will try to take dips as temperature hot up. Three years ago, a man died plunging into the waters following a drinking session.

Inspector Lee Edwards, from the Riverside neighbourhood policing team, said: “Hull Marina is not a safe place for people to swim and anyone entering the water is putting themselves and others at risk.

“I would urge people to think before they act as their actions could end in tragedy. There are numerous risks, including the water temperature and the presence of hidden obstructions beneath the surface.

“We will be regularly patrolling the Hull Marina area to help combat anti-social behaviour and to ensure people don’t put themselves at risk.”
