Emergency services rushed to cliffs, after a group of teenagers were reportedly seen stuck on a vertical drop.

Police and coastguard officers were called to the Folkestone Warren near Capel-le-Ferne on Saturday following a call from a worried onlooker.

A spokesman for HM Coastguard said: "HM Coastguard received a call from a concerned member of the public just after 4pm on Saturday reporting a group of teenagers who were possibly stuck on a cliff at the Warren, close to a very sheer cliff drop.
