Wheelchair thief
arrested
by Simon Russell
IT is hard to imagine a
more heartless crime than
stealing a child’s wheelchair,
but a woman in
Elche has been arrested
and accused of exactly
that this week.
The powered vehicle, worth
€3,000, had been taken from
the lobby of an apartment in
Elche last Friday.
The same evening the
mother of the child whose
chair had been stolen saw a
woman trying to sell what
looked like exactly the same
vehicle in a second hand shop
in the city.
After an altercation between
the two women started
getting out of hand, the local
police were called.
They interviewed the pair
and then arrested the alleged
thief. The wheelchair has
been returned to its young
owner.
