Police have issued a safety reminder after a lifebuoy was damaged in Larne.

The potential life-saving equipment was thrown into the water and the cover destroyed on Inver River path last week.

In a statement on Sunday (February 8), the PSNI added: “Thankfully this has been replaced by Mid and East Antrim Council. It goes without saying that this act of vandalism is incredibly dangerous and could cost someone their life.

"Police urge everyone to respect these items of life saving equipment and to report anyone tampering with them.
