Eccles police appeal to track down stolen mobility scooter

Officers in Eccles are appealing for information after an elderly woman’s mobility scooter was stolen from her home.

The victim is in her eighties and has severe mobility issues.

Police believe her scooter was taken at around 7pm on September 8, from Clarendon Road.

Detectives have released images of three men they would like to speak to in relation to this incident.

PC Sarah Whitfield said: “The victim cannot walk very far due to mobility issues and relies on her mobility scooter to make short trips to local shops or to catch a bus and has lost her independence since her scooter was taken from her.

“We located the mobility scooter but unfortunately it had been stripped of all its parts and is now unusable.

“We are appealing to anyone who may have noticed something suspicious around the Clarendon Road area of Eccles in the evening of September 8, or anyone who recognises the men in the image as they may be able to assist with our enquiries.

“Anyone with information about this incident should contact police via 101, quoting log 1453 of 09/09/2024 or alternatively, Crimestoppers, anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
