AN ELDERLY woman was left shaken and confused when she discovered that her mobility scooter had been stolen earlier this week.

The scooter was found missing from the garage area of supported living accommodation in The Butts, Gloucester at 4.40pm on Monday (25 July).

It's believed it was taken some time in the last three weeks.

The silver Prestige mobility scooter is worth around £750 and was taken without the keys.

Officers are hoping someone will come forward to help their inquiries into this particularly heartless crime.

Anyone who has any information should call 101 and quote incident 360 of 25 July.
