Thieves steal disabled man's car

Thieves have stolen a disabled man's car after he stopped to change a punctured tyre.

Police say the 53-year-old was approached by a group of four youths on Beaumont Road North, Sheffield, between 1900 and 2000 BST on Sunday.

He had just finished changing the wheel and was putting it into the boot when they offered to help him.

But one of the gang jumped into the silver Ford Focus and drove off in the direction of Stonecliffe Drive.

A police spokesman said the victim then realised his car keys were missing from his belt.

The other three youths, all aged in their early to mid-teens, walked off leaving the man stranded.

Police say the car, which was later seen in the Halsall Drive area, was his only means of transport.
