A distraught Sheffield man has shared his heartbreak after the e-scooter he relies on to get around was stolen in a chance theft.

Daniel Peters’ e-scooter was stolen from outside H Harrold & Sons in Shalesmoor on Friday, April 28, 2023. He relies on the e-scooter to navigate Sheffield, due to significant pain in his knee caused by a pre-existing condition.

Daniel said: “It takes my freedoms away. The places I like to go, I won’t be able to go anymore because of the pain.”

The e-scooter, which only Daniel can reportedly operate, was stolen at 3.50pm that day, whilst he was inside H Harrold & Sons. Daniel and the staff at the shop found the moment the e-scooter was stolen on the store’s CCTV.

Daniel Peters' e-scooter was allegedly stolen outside a shop in Shalesmoor.

Daniel said: “Having something stolen like that is so annoying… I use it to get around places so I can go out.”

The theft and CCTV images were immediately reported to South Yorkshire Police.
