An eyewitness said that the Border Force vessels were offshore and had impounded the fishing vessel.
A spokesman for the Home Office was reached for contact but advised that Border Force does not disclose information relating to operational deployments.

Their responsibilities include patrolling the UK coastline and searching vessels.
