TWO youths were moved from North Berwick Harbour by police after they were spotted swimming in the area.

The youths were asked to leave by the harbourmaster on July 12 but refused to do so, resulting in the police being called.

A police report submitted to the town’s community council said that last month several calls were made to local officers in North Berwick about youths diving into the harbour and said that “this practice has been going on for years”.

It added: “The harbour trust [which manages the harbour area] is aware and monitors the situation very well.”
