UPDATE: the wheelchair has since been found.
Gardaí are appealing for witnesses to an incident that occurred at approximately 2.45am today (Saturday 26 October) at a house in Brindley Park Green, Ashbourne, in Meath.
The house was burgled, and consequently, the car from the home was also stolen. A number of items in the car including a wheelchair were also taken.
Speaking to JOE, Gardaí confirmed that they are investigating the theft of the car and its contents, but that no arrests have been made and investigations are ongoing.
