The calls started coming in around 7 a.m., and crews from the Department of Public Works were dispatched.

The borough business administrator, Scott Wahl, tells Action News it appears a fisherman's catch net was cut.

It's not common, he said, but not unheard of.

The beach was expected to be cleaned up around noon.
