WEST VIRGINA- An alleged thief in West Virginia chose wheels for his getaway that are slower than his own two feet...a motorized wheelchair!
Surveillance video shows a man walking into a store, taking money and shoving items in his pockets.
Police say he also stole other items and was able to make a quick escape down an alley thanks to a unique getaway vehicle. The thief was arrested and charged him with breaking and entering.
Police towed his motorized wheelchair as evidence and it's been sitting at a local garage since the arrest.
