We are appealing for information following a burglary at a property on Robey Street, Lincoln.
Between 10am on Friday 20 May and 9am on Saturday 21 May, a blue Independence Plus Micro mobility scooter was taken from the garage of the address.
The scooter was well hidden and whoever has broken in and stolen the scooter has gone to great lengths to remove it.
We are appealing for any information that will assist in our investigation. We would like to hear from anyone who thinks they may know where the stolen mobility scooter is, and any information that will help us identify who is responsible for the burglary.
DC Greg Peplow, Lincoln CID, said: “Someone will know where this scooter is and I appeal for them to get in touch. This burglary has left the owner of the scooter very shaken and frightened. They rely on the scooter to get out of their home; the loss will impact greatly on them.
“It is beyond belief how anyone could be so cruel to steal the owners only way of being mobile and able to leave home.”

Tenants living in a large block of council flats on Lincoln’s Ermine Estate have criticised the building’s “run down” condition, highlighting several issues.
Trent View residents, contending with problems such as excessive bird excrement and poor insulation, have also criticised City of Lincoln Council for its delayed handling of ongoing issues like leaks.
As people prepare to go out more in the run up to Christmas, a Lincoln woman who created the globally renowned Ask For Angela not-for-profit scheme is proud to have made the county, and the world, a safer place.
The scheme, launched by Hayley Crawford (pictured above) in 2016, aims to ensure that anyone who is feeling vulnerable or unsafe is able to get the support they need. This could be on a night out, a date, meeting friends and other situations, and it is available to everyone of all genders to help them feel safer.
