In Harrow, a man stole backpacks from a locked ambulance while paramedics treated a patient inside a home. The incident, captured on CCTV, involved the thief breaking a window and fleeing with the belongings. London Ambulance Service (LAS) expressed outrage, emphasizing the emotional impact on their crew and the disruption caused to ambulance services. LAS released footage, appealing for public assistance while highlighting their commitment to staff safety through various measures. The Metropolitan Police is actively investigating the theft, seeking information from the community to identify the suspect.
Our ambulance crew were responding to an emergency and while helping their patient, a thief has stolen their bags and damaged an ambulance.
To deliberately target our crew in this way is appalling and they are understandably extremely upset. The damage caused to the ambulance means it is now off the road being repaired, unable to respond to patients.
We will not tolerate attacks on our staff or our vehicles and would urge the public to contact the police if they have any information.
We are currently investigating a theft from ambulance that took place in Sandridge Close, HA1, on Tuesday May 6.
