Police are keen to highlight the dangers of tombstoning.
Teenagers have been spotted jumping from a navigation tower on Orkney.
Police received reports of the youngsters “tombstoning” into Stromness Harbour on August 30.
Following an inspection of the Nav tower it appears that equipment has been damaged.
Police would like to speak to any of the ‘teenagers’ involved in climbing the tower or from any persons who may have witnessed this incident.
Officers are also keen to highlight the dangers involved especially as the waters near the tower are shallow and there is ‘junk’ metal hidden beneath the water.
A Police Scotland spokesman said: “The tower itself is not safe to climb as there are a number of cables and pieces of equipment attached to it.
“Tombstoning is considered to be life-threatening and dangerous behaviour as it can be very hard to judge the depth of water due to swell and sea conditions. Serious injuries, or worse, can result from hitting an underwater obstruction.”
Anyone with information regarding this incident is requested to contact Kirkwall Police Station on 101 or crime stoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
