Covid-19 posters and defibrillator ripped from wall

A defibrillator has been removed and posters displaying information in relation to the Covid-19 outbreak ripped off a wall in Lisnaskea.

The incident happened last night at Main Street (Friday 27 March) around 10pm.


Police also say a number of men were heard banging on doors, before fleeing the area.

It was also reported a defibrillator was pulled from its box on a wall outside a shop.

Police located the defibrillator, undamaged, and officers were able to safely place it back in its box.

Chief Inspector Graham Dodds said these are ‘despicable incidents.’

“These posters and the defibrillator are there for a specific reason – to protect the public and save lives – but what occurred on Main Street last night was reckless, and I would appeal to anyone who knows who was responsible to pick up the phone and tell us by calling 101 and quoting reference number 1765 of 27/03/20 or call Crimsteoppers on 0800 555 111.

“Now, more so than ever, it is critical everyone follows the advice from public health officials and government about COVID-19.

“We all have a responsibility to safeguard ourselves and work with each other to keep all the people of Northern Ireland safe,” he added.
