Appeal for information after boat was vandalised in Orkney

The incident happened in the early hours of Sunday, 24 March, 2024 at the breakwater pier in Stromness.

“We are reviewing CCTV and carrying out local enquiries to identify the person or people responsible. I would appeal to anyone who was in the area and saw anything suspicious to please get in touch with us.”
