GARDNER, Mass. —

Gardner police are searching for a suspect accused of stealing an electric scooter from a longtime Gardner Community Action Committee volunteer on Wednesday.

In a social media post, the Gardner CAC shared video of the suspect dressed in a dark hooded sweatshirt climbing through a back staircase and stealing the scooter.

"This wasn't just an object; it was her independence, and it was stolen while she was selflessly helping others," the Gardner CAC wrote.

The organization says it's the victim's sole means of getting around town.

Anyone with information about the theft is asked to call police. This content is imported from Facebook. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.
