A life-saving piece of equipment has been returned to a Northumberland park after a concerned local councillor contacted ChronicleLive about it.
The defibrillator was located in Riverside Park, Prudhoe, and had not been seen for more than three months when Chris Barrett contacted us. The Prudhoe town councillor told us he suspected it wasn't a thief who took it as the cabinet that contained it hadn't been broken, but someone who might have used it for a legitimate purpose and forgotten to return it.
A defibrillator is a device that gives a high energy electric shock to the heart of someone who is in cardiac arrest and is an essential part in trying to save their life.
