Paramedics on the frontline of the fight against coronavirus arrived at work to find holes drilled in the tyres of six ambulances.

The vehicles were taken off the road after the damage was discovered at a vehicle preparation centre in Ramsgate shortly after 7am today.

Janine Compton, a spokesman for South East Coast Ambulance Service, says most people have been "fantastically supportive" of its staff, but condemned those who targeted the vehicles.

She said: "We can confirm that six of our frontline ambulances were deliberately damaged overnight at our Make Ready Centre in Thanet.

"Our fleet staff have worked tremendously hard this morning to ensure that the impact on our patients was minimal. However, it was additional work at a time we are already under significant pressure.

"It is extremely disappointing that an individual would target the ambulance service in this way, at a time when the vast majority of the public have been fantastically supportive of our staff during these difficult times.
