Thieves that stole a sat nav from an ambulance put lives at risk.
The navigation equipment was taken from a fast response vehicle outside a New Basford home on Friday betwenn 9pm and 10pm.
Paramedics were treating a patient at the address when the theft happen.
East Midlands Ambulance Service security management specialist Nick Arnold said: "We're sorry to have to report that on Friday evening, someone stole a sat nav unit from a Fast Response Vehicle.
"The people responsible for the theft of a satellite navigation system from an ambulance parked outside a patient's house should be ashamed of themselves.
"Crews clearly need to get to the scene of an emergency as quickly as possible. They have road maps to help them navigate but a sat nav is a much faster system which is why we've installed them into ournfront-line vehicles.
"Whoever did this is putting lives at risk because we had to take the vehicle off the road to have a replacement unit fitted.
"We've reported the crime to the Police and would urge anyone with any information about the incident to contact them."
The Security Management Team at East Midlands Ambulance Service has for the last five years delivered the highest number of successful sanctions nationally out of all NHS Trusts.
