VAN NUYS (CBSLA.com) — A group of local business and community leaders joined forces Thursday to help a Van Nuys humanitarian organization that fell victim to a callous crime.
On Tuesday night or Wednesday morning, a thief or thieves broke into a gated parking lot in the 7500 block of Tyrone Avenue and
stole a truck filled with 80 wheelchairs Global Mobility was getting ready to ship to Indonesia for the disabled.
The stolen wheelchairs were worth $12,000. On Thursday, Assemblyman Matt Dababneh, D-Encino, presented checks in the amount of $15,000 to Global Mobility to cover the loss.
