"The medication is in the emergency vehicle to treat those in need, especially in these difficult and challenging times. I find it unbelievable that anyone could do such a thing.
"We are now appealing for anyone who was in the QMC area on August 3 and saw anything suspicious. The incident happened just after midnight.
"We have issued this picture of a man who we believe might have information about the incident. If you recognise him please let us know."
Local Security Management Specialist from East Midlands Ambulance Service Mark Ward said: “It is severely disappointing to hear that someone has entered one of our vehicles unlawfully, removing lifesaving items.

“This caused the vehicle to be off road for some time while those items were replaced.
“No one has the right to enter one of our vehicles and remove items from it and we will work with Nottinghamshire Police to attain the maximum sentence for anyone who thinks this is acceptable”.
