Disappointment has been expressed after a large quantity of vital equipment was reported as stolen from a fire station in Co Antrim.

A police spokesperson said they received a report of the incident at around 7.40am on Tuesday.

“Following initial inquiries, we believe the break-in occurred sometime overnight.
