CALLOUS thieves have left Stratford Sea Cadets without a training boat after it was stolen from its mooring on the River Avon.

At a cost of £15,000, the bright orange Topline 360 RIB, with a Mercury 2000 engine, was stolen in the early hours of last Tuesday morning (23rd July) from its location opposite Avon Boating.

Chris Wheeler, chair of Stratford Sea Cadets, said: “The boat was used to help train our cadets and improve their powerboat skills and how to handle different craft.
