North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust is appealing for the safe return of a piece of vital, life-saving equipment which was taken from the scene of an incident in the first hour of the new year.
The defibrillator is a staple device which every NWAS emergency vehicle carries and is used in life-threatening emergencies when people are in cardiac arrest – one was taken from the scene of an incident in Union St West, Oldham, at approximately 12.15am by an unknown individual.
