Theft of guidance system could cost lives
Volunteer medic Graham Hobbs has hit out at thieves who stole his satellite-navigation system, saying they have put lives in danger.
Last Thursday the £500 equipment was stolen from his car, which was parked near his Gosport home.
Mr Hobbs said: 'It's life or death. Every minute counts when you are trying to get to the scene of an emergency.
'I go only to category A incidents such as heart attacks or people with severe breathing difficulties.
'I will always try to arrive within five minutes of receiving the call.'
But as the Community Responders is a registered charity, all its equipment is paid for through fund-raising and donations.
This means the organization has little funds and can't afford to buy a new sat-nav system.
