A life saving device has been stolen from a local bowls club in Southgate.  

The Automated External Defibrillator went missing earlier this month. AEDs are emergency life saving devices that can be used by anyone to help restart the heart when sudden cardiac arrest strikes.  Sussex Heart Charity which provided the AED along with four others in the Crawley area, is fundraising to replace the stolen device.

Terry Ayres, The Charity’s Chief Executive said that stealing the defibrillator could potentially steal a life.
