Bembridge RNLI "Shocked" After "Disgusting" Human Excrement Left On Pier

Bembridge RNLI says it is "shocked and disgusted" after human excrement was found on its pier.

The discovery was made by one of the crew's Coxwains who had arrived for his shift yesterday morning (Thursday).

It is said to have happened overnight on Wednesday (27).

Posting on Facebook, Lifeboat Operations Manager John Keyworth said:

"On arriving at work this morning our Coxswain Guy went along the pier to our off shore lifeboat house to find that an individual over night had defecated on the pier. Disgusting. I dread to think what issues this would have caused if we had been called out overnight in the dark and the crew were making their way to the boat along the pier.

"I am amazed that even one individual can think this is right."

Islanders asked whether the mess could have been left by a dog.

But Mr Keyworth said the gates were locked and tied up.
