A Border Force vessel has been launched after an empty boat was spotted floating off the Dover coast.
The small rigid inflatable boat was seen bobbing in the water just after 7am on Sunday at St Margaret's Bay, around 2.5 miles from the Port of Dover in east Kent.
A number of lifejackets were also found near the Shakespeare Beach in Dover, around eight miles away. It is not yet known if they are linked.

Four RNLI lifeboats and a Coastguard helicopter were launched to investigate.
It comes after 34 migrants were picked up off the Kent coast on Monday after being found on one boat.
One witness said he saw at least one child, a boy who looked about six years old and was accompanied by a woman.
Hundreds of migrants, mostly Iranian, have made perilous trips across the Channel in recent months.
More than 300 migrants have now crossed the Channel to arrive in Britain since the beginning of November.

In December, Home Secretary Sajid Javid said the dramatic spike in migrants arriving on beaches in Kent was a ‘major incident’.

On Christmas Day alone, 40 people in five boats arrived at beaches near Dover, and a further 39 arrived over one weekend in January.
A Home Office spokesman told Sky News today: 'Border Force is currently dealing with an ongoing small boat incident off the Kent coast.
'Further details will be provided once the situation has been resolved.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
