A specialised tricycle stolen from the Laura Fergusson Brain Injury Trust in Christchurch last week has been recovered.

Police made a public appeal last Tuesday asking for anyone who had seen the red Gomier 20 inch six speed tricycle to come forward. 

A police spokesperson said the tricycle was recovered on Wednesday. However, it had been damaged.

The tricycle belonged to a man with a brain injury and is a specialised piece of equipment which made a huge difference to his daily life.
