Update: Disabled man's stolen e-bike found
Hi neighbours, a somewhat happy ending for Papakura resident Jeremy Tupaea and his stolen e-bike.
Tupaea, who has cerebral palsy, said his e-bike made his world a "little bit bigger" and felt he lost his independence when it was stolen from his home on December 29.
But on Saturday, Tupaea received a call from police to say his e-bike had been found at a property in Papakura, meaning he could go about his day-to-day activities.
While the alleged thief removed the motor from the bike which would require replacement, Tupaea was just thankful to have the bike back.
