An elderly woman’s mobility scooter is believed to have been stolen from outside her home.

Police say that the woman is in her 80s, with severe mobility issues, and that the scooter was taken from outside her home on Clarendon Road, Eccles on Sunday September 8.

Officers have now released an image of three men they would like to speak to in connection with the suspected theft.

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.
