The green rucksack, with the words Emergency Medical Response on it, was taken from the Dalry area of Edinburgh at around 9.20pm.
Police Inspector Gill Lundberg from Drylaw Police station said Stealing from emergency service workers trying to help someone is a despicable act.
Despicable theft from ambulance workers on call-out
While the theft of this equipment has not impacted on the care of the patient, I am concerned what could happen if the stolen drugs were to be taken by a member of the public. These drugs can be dangerous if misused. I would appeal for anyone who witnessed the theft, or knows where these items are now, to contact police immediately.
