The incident occurred in Pisarzowice. The unknown perpetrators decided to take advantage of the fact that Mr Tadeusz was in hospital, waiting for a leg amputation. They broke into the sick man’s home and stole his electric wheelchair.

As reported by the eluban.pl: – The thieves took only the electric wheelchair, leaving the regular manual one, which was of no greater value to them. Unfortunately, for Mr Tadeusz, the stolen wheelchair was invaluable, as it enabled him to function every day.

The family comments: – It is hard to imagine greater cruelty than robbing a sick, disabled person.

The Lubań news outlet concludes:

Anyone who can help recover the wheelchair or saw anything suspicious in the area of the main road in Pisarzowice is asked to contact the police in Lubań.
