The device normally sits inside a key-coded box outside Hunter's Bar Junior School on Sharrow Vale Road.

But the school is now asking for people's help in getting the £1,000 life-saving machine back after the door of the box was found open.

"We hope that it has saved someone's life and just has not been returned yet," the school wrote on Facebook.

The device has been used about 10 times since being installed just over a year ago.

Most times it's only a precaution, but the defibrillator pads have been used twice trying to save members of the public.
