LAWRENCE (CBS) – Police are looking for a suspect or suspects who stole an 8-year-old’s wheelchair from the ******’s front yard in Lawrence on Wednesday.

Heeclif de la Rosa’s 8-year-old *** Isaiah has cerebral palsy. He can’t sit, stand or walk, and the very thing he needs the most was stolen from him: his wheelchair.

“I cant beleive anyone would do this. We are parents who do anything we can for him and this just hurt us,” said Isaiah’s *** Meilene Velazquez.

When WBZ-TV initially ran the story Thursday evening, all Isaiah had left is his broken wheelchair, which he also out-grew. The one that was stolen is the one the ****** used to transport him in everyday.

“You have to think someone needs it to get around. So it’s pretty hard to think someone would blatanly come up and take it,” said Heeclif.
