Vandals have covered a lifeguard unit in Portstewart with graffiti in a weekend attack.
It's thought to have happened last night (Sunday).
Signange was also vandalised near the unit causing around £500 worth of damage.
RNLI Lifeguard Supervisor Karl O’Neill said, "This is the worst damage I have ever seen to RNLI property and it is so disheartening to come down here after what was a busy summer season for our lifeguards who worked hard to keep everyone visiting the beach safe, to see that vandals have completely covered the unit with paint which will be very difficult to remove.
"This shows a complete disregard for the lifesaving work that we do and also for the fact that the RNLI is a charity which relies on the generosity of the public to fund our equipment."
The RNLI is working closely with the police who are appealing for anyone with any information to contact them.
