Community Defibrillator Stolen

We are extremely disappointed to announce that our community defibrillator at Tusmore Wading Pool, installed only a month ago, was stolen over the weekend. This defibrillator was installed as part of the ratepayer funded Your Neighbourhood Budget program and was suggested by two young girls, Amber and Penny, who wanted to keep their grandma and other community members safe at the wading pool. Stealing this lifesaving piece of equipment from the community is a reprehensible act and we are utterly appalled by this selfishness.

The theft of this defibrillator has not only cost ratepayers their money, but it could also cost lives. Defibrillators are extremely important pieces of medical equipment that can mean the difference between life and death. If you have any information that could prove useful, please contact the City of Burnside on 8366 4200.
