A WARNING has been issued after thieves cut through a heavy duty chain and made off with an 84-year-old’s mobility scooter.
Victim Ernest Woodcock, of High View, Royston, was targeted on Monday night and the scooter - which he relies on to get around - was securely locked up in his home’s porch.
Son Bob condemned those responsible.
“It’s his only means of transport and we’re all very angry about it. My dad’s not well and he’s upset about it but thankfully they only took the scooter and didn’t attempt to gain entry into his home.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
