The jet ski, which is used by lifeguards to patrol the area around Penguin Island, was taken from a sea container on Arcadia Drive around 2.30am on March 19.

A Surf Lifesaving WA spokesperson said the theft was disappointing.

“It is disappointing that an individual, or individuals, would steal these items from a not-for-profit organisation that dedicates its resources to protecting the community,” they said.
