Police received report that a human hand or foot had been found on Llangennith beach
(Web Desk) - An emergency police response was triggered when a ‘human hand’ was found on a beach close to Swansea, however the situation was not what it seemed.
The coast guard called the officers to Llangennith beach while they were on patrol at Rhossili on the Gower.
A "human foot/hand" was reportedly found on the beach, according to a report that South Wales Police shared on Facebook.
According to the force, bits of deceased seals and other marine animals have been observed to wash up in the area in issue.
Given that seals also have five "fingers" and "toes", it can be challenging for the general public to distinguish between human and seal bones, according to the report.
Gareth Richards, who runs the Gower Seal Group, happened to be walking past at the time and officers asked him for his help.
It took four hours for the officers and Mr Richards to track down the remains, before they could be identified as part of a seal.
