A police spokesperson said: “It happened between August 4 and August 9 when the thieves entered the rear garden and stole the sea-going kayak which is a “2 + 1” model with damaged side handles.

"The thieves are likely to have needed a vehicle to take the kayak due to its size and weight.

"Get in touch if you saw any suspicious activity in the area at the time or have been offered the kayak for sale – the thieves did not get access to the paddles and seats, therefore it may have been offered for sale without these.
