Appeal following mobility scooter theft in Garston

Police are appealing for witnesses and information following the theft of a mobility scooter in Garston on August 15. The red Shopper scooter, worth £1,500, was taken between 7.30pm and 8pm having been left outside Impulse Audio near to the junction with Leggatts Wood Avenue. PC Ben Harvey is investigating and said: “The victim, a 77 year old man, needs this scooter to get around and understandably would like it returned as it gives him independence.

Alternatively contact the independent crime-fighting charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or through their Anonymous Online Form at www.crimestoppers-uk.org.
