£10,000 worth of lifeboat kit stolen

THIEVES have stolen lifesaving equipment from the RNLI's store.

The gear - including a quad bike and an engine - was taken from the charity's storage garage in Sandbanks.

The cost to replace the vital lifesaving equipment is £10,000.

RNLI divisional lifeguard manager Barry Heathfield said: "This is a devastating thing to have happened at the start of the season.

"I find it extremely upsetting to think that anyone is capable of stealing lifesaving equipment from a charity.

"These pieces of equipment are used to make the area safer for everyone who visits."
