THE community has pulled together to buy a new electric bike for a disabled girl who had hers stolen by a heartless thief.
Chloe Roylance, 13, was left very upset and afraid to leave her home after her electric bike was stolen while she was in Heavenly Food and Doughnuts on Higher Market Street in Farnworth.
She spotted the hooded thief getting on her bike, at around 3,20pm on Monday, April 12, and chased after him but he managed to escape.
Chloe’s dad Mark appealed on social media for any information about the theft, which came to the attention of Paul Dempsey, who works at Decathlon in Bolton, and Michael Morrison, from Little Hulton.
