Three youngsters were rescued after getting stuck in an area of undergrowth on Portland.

Portland Bill Coastguard Rescue were paged at 8.34pm yesterday to help the young people who had been walking near to the old rifle range at the Grove. They reportedly became disorientated and lost as night fell and got stuck in thick undergrowth.

The team, assisted by Wyke Coastguard Rescue, found the trio in an area under the Grove and hacked through the bushes to reach them, before they were eventually led to safety.

Paramedics checked them over and they were given hot food and drink before going home.
