‘Sad’ break-in at mountain rescue team’s base

A mountain rescue base in the Highlands has been broken into and a number of items stolen.

The Dundonnell Mountain Rescue team was targeted on Tuesday night.

Items stolen from the Dingwall base included a two-way radio in a yellow pouch, a Karrimor Jaguar black and grey rucksack, some red parachute flares, and a Dell laptop in a computer bag. A nearby joint services hut was broken into at the same time.

Team leader Donald Macrae said: “Any breakin is disappointing, however, breaking in and stealing rescue equipment is sad.”
