Couple spend £2,000 to make caravan accessible just to have it stolen
A disabled couple who purchased a caravan with their savings have seen callous thieves steal their pride and joy.
The Swift Conqueror 630 Lux, which was purchased just four weeks ago by Debby and Anthony Blackwell, was left in their drive behind secured gates in Worcester last Wednesday when thieves struck.
Upon arriving back from their weekly shop at approximately 4.30pm, the Blackwells found that their security gate had been smashed down and the caravan had been taken.
Wheelchair user, Anthony Blackwell, 55,who suffers from a chronic bone condition, and his wife, Debby, 47, who sometimes uses a wheelchair because she has a degenerative joint disease, spent over £2,000 ensuring that the caravan was accessible for both of them.
Debby stated: “We can’t explain it. My husband has really taken this badly. We had used the last of our savings and borrowed money from friends.
“There is no way on this earth we will be able to replace this,” she added.
If you are aware of any details or information regarding the theft call police on 101 and quote incident number 0478S 220715.
