Bacteria problems close 3 beaches

PROVIDENCE -- Health authorities have closed three Rhode Island beaches after testing showed high bacteria counts.

The Department of Health has warned swimmers to stay away from Camp Grosvenor Beach in North Kingstown and Gorton Beach Pond and Oakland Beach in Warwick.

State authorities say they'll keep testing each beach and will notify the public when they are safe for swimming.
