POLICE have cordoned off a sunbathing seal at a beach in Dorset.
Wareham Police blocked off a section of Durdle Door beach this afternoon to keep a safe distance between the public and the seal.
Officers joked on social media that they were putting a ‘seal on crime’.
They posted: “The sun finally shone this afternoon inviting a beautiful seal to Durdle Door beach for an afternoon of relaxation through the Easter holidays.
“Police were called to cordon a section of beach off to keep a safe distance between the public and the Seal.
“This also provided the Seal with enough space to feel comfortable and avoid him getting stressed."
