The staff of a local aged care provider in Deakin turned up to work yesterday morning to see one of their vehicles balancing on two large rocks – minus all four wheels. Staff from the Uniting aged care provider discovered that the four wheels on their Toyota Yaris were stolen during the night. The theft is not the first time that Uniting has found their vehicles damaged. Wednesday night’s theft is the third incident involving Uniting’s vehicles in the past couple of years after their bus was vandalised and another vehicle was broken into. Uniting has a fleet of four cars and a bus that are used to transport aged people in need and provide assistance such as nursing, shopping, getting out in the community and in-home help including showering and dressing, cleaning, clothes washing and ironing.
