Coast Guard authorities say they rescued three people over the weekend after a vessel began taking on water off the coast of Long Branch.

Officials said Monmouth County 911 dispatchers called Sunday shortly after 9 a.m. to report the emergency three miles east of Long Branch.

Officials said a motor lifeboat and a helicopter went to the scene, and a rescue swimmer lowered from the helicopter and helped all three people aboard the Coast Guard vessel.

All three had life jackets and no injuries or medical concerns were reported.

The 25-foot vessel will be salvaged by its owner.
