Coastguard station break-in ‘put lives at risk’

A coastguard station in Aberdeenshire was out of action for six hours after its second break-in within a year.

Nothing was taken but the culprit left blood at the scene and equipment will need repairs and cleaning, thee BBC reported.

Deputy station officer Darren Scott said: “Vandalising and stealing from a coastguard rescue vehicle is not only irresponsible but also puts lives at risk, especially on a weekend.”
