Petition Make the theft of lifesaving equipment an aggravated offence.

In the UK, reported theft of publicly accessible automated external defibrillators is increasing, this petition calls on the Government to classify the theft of lifesaving equipment (including bleed kits and buoyancy aids) as an aggravated offence carrying the appropriate sanction or sentence.

More details

The theft of lifesaving equipment including public access defibrillators, bleed kits or buoyancy aids can endanger life and should carry an appropriately severe sanction or sentence in recognition of this.
The classification of the theft of lifesaving equipment as an aggravated offence may act as a deterrent to those considering committing such a crime.
