Kamloops RCMP find 90-year-old’s stolen scooter

A Kamloops police officer was able to reunite a 90-year-old man with his mobility scooter last week with some investigative work.

On June 5, around 1:30 p.m., police were called to the 400-block of Lansdowne Street for a report of a mobility scooter that was stolen from outside a store.

An RCMP officer reviewed video surveillance and was able to find the woman who was responsible for the theft.

The woman took the officer to where the scooter was stashed.

The woman apologized to the victim, who was happy to have his scooter back and did not wish to pursue charges, according to the RCMP.
