Stratford rail station on 2 April at 10.15pm

Bow Road rail station on 2 April at 1pm

Leytonstone rail station on 5 April at 5.40am

The man, on every occasion, approached the defibrillator cabinet at the station, opened it up and took the defibrillator out. He then either placed it into a bag or under his jacket and left the station.

Investigating officer DC Angie Gates said: “We believe that all five incidents are linked and I am keen to speak to anyone who may hold information or knows the person in the CCTV image, who I am keen to speak to and who I believe has information that could help us.

“Defibrillators can save lives and its really disappointing that these have been stolen.”
