After the recent deaths, this is a unbelievable .......
Police probe after mountain rescue vehicles damagedAn investigation is underway after three Land Rovers used by a North Wales mountain rescue team were damaged - putting lives at risk.
Police say the battery cables on all three vehicles had been cut, rendering them immobile.
All bolts securing front and back passenger doors had been removed from two of the vehicles, with one back door left on the floor. A door on the third vehicle had also been forced open.
The three Land Rovers were parked at the mountain rescue team's base in Nant Peris and it is believed the damage was caused between midday yesterday and midday today.
Just last Sunday, rescue volunteers were called out when four swimmers got into difficulties at a Llanberis waterfall - two of whom later died.
Mountain rescue teams provide an invaluable service to the public in the Snowdonia area who fall or get into difficulties.
As a result of the damage members of Llanberis MRT were not in a position to be deployed to any emergency situation and it is by chance that no emergency calls have been received today requiring their assistance.– PC MARK OWEN, NORTH WALES POLICE
