BPD release - Boat Capsizing Incident – August 8, 2025 - At approximately 1:33 p.m. this afternoon, Bandon Police were dispatched to a report of a capsized boat near the boat basin. All four occupants of the vessel were rescued from the water by a courageous and unnamed citizen in a boat, who acted quickly to bring them to safety.  Thankfully, all individuals were wearing life jackets, which played a critical role in ensuring this was a rescue and not a recovery.  Prowler Charters assisted by retrieving the capsized boat from the water.  Unfortunately, a dog named Dingo was also on board and is currently missing. If you see Dingo or have any information, please contact the Bandon Police Department at 541-347-2241.  We extend a HUGE thank you to the citizen who bravely rescued the four individuals from the very choppy water, and to Prowler Charter for recovering the boat, your heroic actions are deeply appreciated by the entire community.
