IT would appear nothing is safe from thieves these days – not even vital life-saving equipment
The PSNI in Foyle say they are shocked that someone would try and steal a defibrillator from outside a shop in Derry this afternoon.
But beat bobbies happened to be in the area and were able to arrest the thief for attempted theft and took him to Strand Road custody suite for questioning.
Police posted on their Facebook page: “It’s shocking to think that someone would try to steal the defibrillator from outside the Spar shop in Galliagh.
“Ballyarnett Neighbourhood Policing team were walking the beat close by and it was heart warming to assist staff in removing the offender.”
The police have a message for those also thinking of stealing one of these life saving machines.
“Don’t mess with this equipment as you never know when it could save your life or someone close to you.”
