An ambulance called out to treat a sick little boy had its passenger window smashed and electronics stolen by thieves.

Keys, some of the paramedics’ belongings and an NHS iPad used as a Sat Nav were taken when the vehicle was left parked in a residential road.

The medics were in a flat in Erith, south east London, treating a sick child when the raid took place on Monday morning at around 7am.

The passenger-side window was smashed and personal property belonging to the paramedics were stolen along with the iPad.

Off the road

As a result, the ambulance has since had to be taken off the road for repairs to be carried out.

A spokesman for the London Ambulance Service said: “It’s sickening that thieves should steal from the NHS and our medics when they were treating a poorly child.

“This break-in caused an ambulance to be taken off the road for repairs when it could be out responding to those who need us most.
