Defibrillator damaged in ‘despicable act’ in village of Sussex Brighton News

A DEFIBRILLATOR was damaged and its contents scattered on the ground in a “vile act”.

The pavilion at the King George V parking lot at Allington Road in Newick, near Uckfield, was found broken on Saturday morning (October 1).

An active investigation is underway by the police, with several avenues of investigation underway.

The incident is believed to have taken place around 7:35 p.m. Friday evening (September 30).

A police spokesperson said: “It is a despicable act, one that could put lives in danger, and we need anyone who can help us contact us.”

Anyone with information is urged to contact Sussex Police online or by calling 101, quoting serial number 1235 from 01/10.

Defibrillators are being used to help those suffering from cardiac arrest, with calls for the devices to be supplied to UK football clubs after Danish footballer Christian Eriksen collapsed in his country’s opener against Finland at Euro 2020.
