Charity bosses have expressed their frustration after a missing defibrillator was used.

Defibrillator charity Heart 2 Heart has been hunting for its missing equipment since last month when it went missing from Mousehold Hub, off Silver Road in NR3.

But now charity bosses say the device's tracker alerted them to a potential use on June 22, with emergency services and those involved in the incident saying they did not use it.

The defibrillator's box has now been deactivated so ambulance crews will know it is not in use, but Jayne Biggs, the charity's founder, says it still needs to be found as soon as possible.

She said: "Some people made a 999 call in the middle of the night, but they didn't use it so we don't know where it has gone.

"Some people contacted us a while back to say they'd seen a Facebook selling post for it but it's no good to anyone as it has one of our serial numbers.

"I've dealt with 240 defibrillators in my time and this is the first one which has gone missing.

"It's really frustrating and potentially dangerous as it's the only one in the area."

It comes after Green Party city councillor for the area, Gary Champion, called for its return when the defibrillator first went missing in June.

Ms Biggs is hoping someone living nearby has CCTV or Ring doorbell footage which could show what happened to the device.

She added: "Oddly, one of the common places these things are found when they go missing is in people's front rooms, people think they need to keep hold of it in case of an emergency.

"It's been missing a month now so we really need to find out where it is and get it back to where it belongs."

Anyone with any information or footage should privately message Heart 2 Heart on Facebook.
