Canadian police are investigating after a cable car gondola was apparently sabotaged for a second time in just over a year.

The Sea-to-Sky gondola's main cable was severed at about 4am local time (11:00 GMT) on Monday, the operator said.

No staff or guests were on the line at the time and no injuries were reported.
