A defibrillator has been stolen from a community hub in Cookstown.
The lifesaving equipment was taken from the Fairhill playpark and playing fields sometime over the weekend.
Police say the thieves also destroyed the cabinet which houses the defibrillator during the incident.
Officers are currently reviewing CCTV, which was recently installed in the area.
A spokesperson for the PSNI says, "Yet again our community is going to suffer because of mindless, selfish idiots who have decided to steal vital life saving equipment from the Fairhill, playpark and playing fields.
"We are currently reviewing CCTV that has only recently been installed in the area.
"So our advice to the culprit. Don’t continue with this silly behaviour came and talk to us before we come to get you."
Local Councillor Trevor Wilson says it's "beggars belief" why anyone would want to steal the equipment:
