Coastguards attend Peel 'oil slick'

Images of pollution appear online

The coastguard was called out to what appeared to be an oil spill in Peel last night.

A clean-up operation has continued into today, though it's said to be a 'minor incident'.

Steven Elkins was in the area yesterday evening and posted images of the water online.

He's described to Manx Radio what he saw:

It's not clear what the pollution was or what caused it.

Manx Radio has contacted government for comment.
