A life-saving defibrillator worth hundreds of pounds has been stolen from a Dundee street.
Police launched an investigation after the equipment was taken from outside the Attic Lounge community centre on Beauly Avenue in the Kirkton area.
The theft was discovered on Friday morning and officers believe it occurred the night before, although it may have been earlier.
The device was provided by St John’s Ambulance for use by the community in the event of a medical emergency, and is similar to the one pictured.
Police say it will have no use or value for the person who removed it and the community will miss out.
