WILDWOOD CREST – The Wildwood Crest Police Department rescued three distressed teenagers from the ocean around noon April 28. The day’s high winds created large waves that proved too difficult for them to handle, police said.
Six juveniles, visiting the island, went for a late morning swim around Cresse Avenue. They ultimately pushed too far out and had to call the police. Three were able to make it back to shore on their own. The remaining three were too exhausted to safely make it back.
Detective Sgt. Mulholland from the Wildwood Crest police responded to the 11:59 a.m. call. Mulholland is a trained rescue swimmer and immediately swam out. Wildwood Fire and Rescue also responded to the call and aided Mulholland in bringing the teens back to shore.
None of the swimmers were injured.
The department advised swimmers to be cautious, as there are no lifeguards on patrol for several more weeks.
Cape May – Governor Murphy says he doesn't know anything about the drones and doesn't know what they are doing but he does know that they are not dangerous. Does anyone feel better now?
