Writing on Twitter, the disability campaigner said: “My mobility car has been broken into & my wheelchair attachment, called a Batec, has been stolen. It will have NO value to anyone but a manual wheelchair user. I’m heartbroken. If anyone saw/sees anything around Camden, London. Pls report it. A small black suitcase was also taken.”
