North Vancouver RCMP are looking for the right owner of a mobility scooter left ditched in Lower Lonsdale.
A resident noticed the scooter abandoned with dead batteries on the 800-block of St. Davids Avenue on June 30 and contacted police.
“We’re thinking it may have been taken for a joyride potentially and just left on the street, or someone was going somewhere and it broke down on them but we haven’t been contacted for anything like that,” said Cpl. Richard De Jong, North Vancouver RCMP spokesman. “Now we’re appealing to the public. If it’s yours, please come pick it up.”
Police are also thanking the person who reported the scooter, noting it could make a world of difference for its owner, who may be left housebound without it.
“They literally went door-to-door asking ‘Hey is this yours?’ and there weren’t even any seniors or people with disabilities who looked like they could use it,” De Jong said.
Anyone with information about the scooter or its rightful owner is asked to contact the RCMP at 604-985-1911.
