Thief steals paramedics' lunch and belongings as they respond to a 999 call
One of the paramedics also had her Cath Kidston handbag stolenPARAMEDICS had their belongings stolen - including a packed lunch and iPhone charger - by a heartless thief as they responded to a 999 call.
Among the items taken were three pairs of Ray-Ban sunglasses, a paramedic's work ID and handbook, an i-Phone charger and a set of keys. Hundreds of people took to social media to express their shock at the incident, and have rallied to raise funds for the ambulance service to show their support., which has so far raised more than £1,200, said: “Whilst this theft and vandalism is relatively small in monetary value, the impact it can have on staff morale and their ability to undertake their role properly can be huge.
"We never in a million years expected anything like this to happen and all staff within South Central Ambulance Service are proud to serve Basingstoke and the surrounding areas. Once again thank you for all your support.”
