Appeal after defibrillator in Peterborough taken
An appeal has been issued after a defibrillator in Peterborough was taken.
The life-saving equipment, which gives a high energy electric shock to the heart of someone who is in cardiac arrest, was spotted missing on Friday at the Pyramid Centre in Bretton.
A representative for the St John Ambulance said it had contacted the East of England Ambulance and was told the defibrillator had not been used. She said the team are now waiting for CCTV footage to see if it had been stolen or used in an emergency.
Anyone with information is asked to call the first aid charity.
The St John Ambulance Bretton Unit posted on Facebook: "To the community; we are saddened to announce that our Public Access Defib is missing. We don’t know where it has gone but we are investigating. If anyone has ANY information please get in touch with us or the Parish Council. Thank you."
