IT'S USUALLY shopping trolleys and broken pushchairs you see dumped in river beds, but a mobility scooter has been found half underwater in a Sandown stream.

The scooter was spotted in the stream behind Sandown Bowls Club, near Sandham Gardens, and posted on the lost and found Facebook page.

Police attended the scene and checked for signs of anyone who may have fallen in the river and the Isle of Wight council will recover the scooter as soon as possible.

Anyone missing a scooter that may have been stolen and dumped here should contact the police or the council.
