LIFE-SAVING equipment has been vandalised at Fisherrow Harbour, in Musselburgh.
Police have launched an investigation after being made aware of "people tampering with life-saving water equipment".
Items have been vandalised while life rings have been thrown into the water.
A spokesperson for Police Scotland told the Courier: "This is a reckless and selfish act and can result in lives being lost if this equipment is not available for use when required.
"If you witness anyone tampering with life rings or other life saving equipment, call 101 to report it, or use our online contact form to report."
