"I've still got the key and the charger, so they must have picked it up and carried it away.

"Someone must have seen these people walking down the street carrying it. They must have thought that was odd."

Police said the theft occurred between 4pm on January 10 and 2.25pm the next day.

Pc Mike Smith, who is investigating, said: "The victim has been left extremely upset by the incident.

"She relies on her scooter and we need to reunite her with it.

"Did you witness the incident or did you see anyone acting suspiciously in the area during these times?"

Contact Pc Smith on 101.
