Correction - Incident at Bethells Beach

A release issued earlier this evening stated that Police launch Deodar retrieved the men swept out to sea off Bethells Beach this afternoon.

That is incorrect. Surf Life Saving New Zealand crews retrieved the men from the water.

We apologise for the error and any confusion caused.
