Members of the public reported the swan family as being in the Church Road area near the Memorial Hall and Fire Station and were found in gardens off Wallsend Road.
Due to the close location to two main roads and being unclear where the family were trying to reach, rescuers had no choice but to relocate them back to the nearby river to safety.
