Stonehaven defibrillator vandalised

The defibrillator in Stonehaven’s Market Square has been vandalised again.

The potentially life-saving equipment was targeted between 3.30pm on Friday afternoon November 23rd and Sunday November 25th at 10.30am.

PC Marc Camus, who is leading enquiries, said: "If the defibrillator unit had been accessed to help someone and give life-saving assistance I could understand accidental damage. Yet there have been no emergency calls relating to any medical condition that would require access, therefore I can only assume that this is yet another incident of vandalism.

"The incidents are now so repetitive that Perspex is now being used as opposed to glass to reduce the costs. This is wholly unacceptable and I urge anyone with information to get in touch as soon as possible.”

Anyone with information should contact Police on 101 quoting ref. no. 1471 of Nov 25 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 to remain anonymous. Alternatively ask for PC Camus at Stonehaven Police Station, Dunnottar Avenue.
