The Devon Air Ambulance charity shop in Exmouth's Magnolia Centre is appealing for the safe return of its defibrillator.
The Charity said via a Facebook post "Sadly our defibrillator has been taken from our Exmouth Shop and has not been returned. Luckily we have a back up unit so we are still able to offer those in our Exmouth community the use of a defib should it be needed.
"There is no record of this device being activated to help save a life so may have been stolen."
The device, potentially lifesaving in the event of a cardiac arrest is used to restart a person's heart in the event of a cardiac arrest. The machine is accessible 24 hours a day for anyone who needs it in the town centre.
If you see a defib discarded please let them know by calling in to the Exmouth Shop, emailing info@daat.org or calling us on 01392 466666.
