Raiders steal radios worth £2,000 from lifeguards
Intruders smashed the Clarence Esplanade site’s first aid room door and took five VHF radios – which enable lifeguards to communicate over long distances.
It is thought the break-in occurred on Thursday night.
In a Facebook post, Portsmouth Lifeguards said: ‘Overall, the damage will cost us £1,750. £1,000 for the door and £150 each for the VHF radios.
