From the BBC

 

A woman who went shopping in her swimsuit and towel sparked a full-scale air search on Wednesday evening when only her clothes were found on a beach.

The 20-year-old from London had been swimming off Bexhill, East Sussex, when she decided to go to the supermarket.

 

When she returned an hour later, yachts, lifeboats and a helicopter had been scrambled to try to find her.

 

Coastguards said the woman, whose mother lives on the seafront, was "a typical Londoner" and "irresponsible".

 

 

A man drinking at the nearby Bexhill Sailing Club saw the woman's clothes had been on the beach for some time.

 

A massive air operation was mounted, but an hour later the woman returned in search of her clothes - still only wearing her swimsuit and towel.

 

Police were called in after the unapologetic woman refused to give her name, indignant coastguards said.

 

Rob Gradon said: "She was really miffed that we would make all this effort to go and look for her.

 

Bexhill air search:

One helicopter from Lee-on-Solent, Hampshire

Two lifeboats from Hastings, East Sussex

Search teams from Bexhill

Dover Coastguard

Two yachts from Bexhill Sailing Club

Total cost - £35,000

"She had a bit of an attitude and she wouldn't give her name.

 

"Her attitude was 'I never called and asked for help' - although she might not have been in the position to."

 

Mr Gradon, who operated the radar during the search, said: "Her mother has a property nearby on the beach front, so why she could not have got changed there and walked to the beach, I don't know.

 

"Everyone has a right to go swimming, but there's a responsible way to do it and an irresponsible way.

 

"People that don't live in a maritime environment don't think in this way. She's a typical Londoner."

 

The coastguard watch manager added: "If you put it all together, you wouldn't get much change out of £35,000 for the search."

 

Sussex Police said they reunited the woman with her clothes and she was not charged with any criminal offence.
