Emergency services were called on Sunday afternoon to the scene at Navenby Lowfields where young people had been drinking underage and one fell into water and had to receive treatment from an ambulance crew.

PCSO Sarah Lingard from Hykeham police station said on social media she had just attended what she described as a “very dangerous near miss” explaining: “Thankfully the person is OK, but has had to have medical treatment.

“Fire, police and ambulance all attended the incident. The young people had been supplied alcohol by an adult.
