Police in Cornwall are investigating after thieves forced their way overnight into an RNLI base and stole a lifeguard truck.

Police said it looked like another vehicle was used to break though the steel gates of the compound at New Road in Perranporth.

The RNLI said lifeguard rescue operations would not be affected.
