serious incident on Sunday afternoon in Camp Bay when two Spanish vessels came dangerously close to the shore flying the Spanish flag

 serious incident on Sunday afternoon in Camp Bay when two Spanish vessels came dangerously close to the shore flying the Spanish flag, displaying “a complete disregard for the welfare of bathers.”

 
“This is going to provoke a serious accident as more people are using the beaches,” said the Opposition.

The Opposition say the Spanish speedboat and RHIB proceeded to leave Camp Bay at high speed when the occupants saw the police at the beach approach them on land.

A spokesman added: “The many beach-users who were present in Camp Bay have every right to be annoyed. The issue is now wider that the continuing political controversy about sovereignty and jurisdiction. It has now become one about safety and security as well. People have a right to be able to use Gibraltar’s beaches without being subjected to harassment and exposed to danger in this in or any other way.”
