Ambulance paramedic’s helmet nicked mid-emergency in London

A London motorcycle paramedic had their crucial helmet and built-in earpiece stolen while attending an emergency call today. This marks the second helmet theft in just two months.

Vital kit gone – paramedic out of action

The stolen helmet is essential for the medic to safely respond to patients. Without it, both the paramedic and their rapid response bike are off the road until a replacement is found.

Police seek help to catch helmet thief

Police are urging anyone with information to contact the Met Police on 101. These helmets are critical life-saving equipment — and completely useless to thieves.
