Thieves have deprived a 65-year-old Cowichan Valley woman of her only mode of transportation.
The woman reported the theft of her Fortress scooter to the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP late last month, and police are hoping they can reunite her with her ride. The scooter was last seen parked in the stairwell of her residence on Bundock Avenue.
“We have turned over every rock we can, hoping to find information that will lead us to the whereabouts of this scooter, but to no avail,” stated Cpl. Krista Hobday.
“Our complainant will be able to identify the scooter, so if anyone sees a scooter that seems out of place or has just materialized on someone’s property, and matches the description provided, please call the police.”
Pawn shops and scooter stores have also been alerted to the theft.
The scooter is described as a blue/purple Fortress 1700 Series with a black leather seat, black metal basket, and minor damage on the front left fender.
Anyone with information should call the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP at 250-748-5522 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
