A life-saving defibrillator has been stolen from outside a council building in Sheffield.

The vital medical equipment was taken from outside the offices of Ecclesfield Parish Council in High Green.

The parish council said in a statement: “We are completely disgusted to discover that someone has stolen the defibrillator which was outside our offices. This is a community asset and saves the lives of members of the public on a regular basis.

"If anyone has any information about this incident please contact 0114 2845095, or post a letter through our post box anonymously.”

They have asked anyone who knows anything to contact the parish council or email [email protected].

The Star reported in 2019 how an off-duty special police constable had used a defibrillator in High Green to save the life of a man who had collapsed in the street.
