The RNLI Redcar post said: "Hard to believe. Police called.

"The drivers and occupants returned some time later, enjoying their lemon top ice-creams. They were unaware of the consequences of their actions. "Unfortunately they left the scene before the police arrived. They declined to make a donation by way of an apology."
