A swimming pool inflatable used for children's parties was stolen after thieves broke into a High Wycombe gym last night.

Investigations are ongoing after a group of five men reportedly carried out the burglary at the Wycombe Rye Lido, in Bassetsbury Lane, overnight.

Officers confirmed this morning that one large inflatable, used for children’s parties, was taken and a pallet truck was also stolen.

Regional marketing manager, Steve Lee, said: "We have arranged for a replacement so we can continue with these very popular sessions, we can also confirm that we are taking party bookings as normal.

"If anyone saw anything suspicious late last night in the area of the Lido we would ask they contact the police."

The burglary is understood to have happened between 11.30pm and midnight.
