Edinburgh man finds seedy sex chest stashed with porn and condoms while searching for pal's bike in river

A diver in Edinburgh found a seedy sex stash stuffed away in a safe at the bottom of a river while looking for a pal's stolen bike.

The diver, known as Shane, initially plunged into the Water of Leith in the city's Leith area this morning after his Deliveroo delivery rider friend had his bicycle pinched by a group of teenage yobs.

The youngsters launched the bike into the river when they were caught red handed.

The 26-year-old fully certified diver told how he was "shocked" to find around 14 just Eat bikes on his first trip.

But he certainly got more than he bargained for when he went back for a second look.

A Facebook group covering Shane's adventures into the deep said he came across a "possible stolen" safe with a stash of porn magazines, a video camera and "lots of condoms."

He also discovered at least 25 bikes, a trolley, some suitcases, a bath tub and a mystery SECOND safe near to the site at Sandport bridge.

The post read: "Shane was diving again this afternoon.

"A more thorough investigation found at least 25 bikes around Sandport bridge, a trolley, some suitcases and a bath tub.

"A possibly stolen safe revealed a stash of porn mags, video camera and lots of condoms. There was yet another safe next to it.

"Too heavy to remove today - over 35kg."
