A trampoline park have urged customers to come forward with information after a young girls life-saving diabetic equipment was stolen.
Bluewater's Gravity took to social media after a seven-year-old girl's bag, which had the kit inside, was taken from their site at the Greenhithe shopping centre on Saturday.
The youngster, who has type one diabetes, was on the trampolines with her mum when the bag was taken.
In a statement on their Facebook page Gravity Bluewater said: "We were shocked and saddened to hear that one of our customers, who recently visited our Gravity Bluewater Park, is left without vital diabetic equipment. The kit is believed to have been stolen whilst at our park, along with a bag of belongings.
"The team at Bluewater is currently doing what they can to help the family trace the diabetic kit for their seven-year-old daughter, and are in the process of sourcing the CCTV footage which was recorded during the time of their visit.
"We would kindly ask anyone who might know anything to get in touch on 07840042109 or if the bag, which is described as a pink unicorn make-up bag, is found please drop it off at Gravity Bluewater."
Cousin of the diabetic youngster, Sarah King, spoke to KentOnline at the weekend about the incident.
She said: "We are desperate to get this equipment back, it truly is life saving.
"We don't know who took it, it could have even been another child because the bag is a sparkly unicorn.
"We've asked Gravity for CCTV or if someone has handed it in but no one has got in contact yet.
"It is really urgent, whoever has it, if they could contact me, I will organise a meeting point, no questions asked and just return the kit."
Anyone who has the bag is asked to drop it off at Gravity in Bluewater or contact Sarah on 07840042109.
