Concerned locals have appealed for the return of potentially life saving equipment which has gone missing from a Northumberland park.
The defibrillator was located in Riverside Park, Prudhoe but has not been seen for more than three months. The alarm has been raised by local town councillor Chris Barrett who thinks it might not have been taken by thieves.
He said: "There wasn't any visible damage to the cabinet it was held in so we think somebody might have taken it to use for a legitimate purpose. They have then either forgotten to bring it back or kept in case they needed it again, which isn't the purpose of them.
