At about 7.50pm four male youths approached a man as he left an address on Tooley Street.
The youths intimated the man before kicking the kit out of his hands.
The man ran to his vehicle which was parked a short distance away.
The youths have taken the kit and walked away in a northerly direction along Tooley Street.
The man, who was an on-call doctor, and his driver followed the youths in the vehicle for a short distance. The doctor exited the car and approached asking for the return of the medical kit.
