UPDATE 5.40pm: Scarborough and Brighton beaches have been reopened after they were closed for the third time today due to a tagged great white shark being detected in the area. <\/p>\n
The shark was detected at 3.54pm resulting in the beaches being closed. The shark has since been detected at 4.09pm, 4.14pm and 4.17pm. <\/p>\n
The beaches were also closed at 12.30pm after detections from a receiver at Scarborough at 12.28pm, 12.30pm, 12.33pm and 12.40pm. <\/p>\n
The beaches were reopened about an hour later after the shark was undetected following the closure and a helicopter fly-over also failed to spot the shark. <\/p>\n
