Community transport organisations are often called upon to overcome challenges, but for Voluntary Action Rutland, recent events have been a stark reminder of how quickly vital services can be disrupted.
During the night of 2-3 October, two wheelchair-accessible minibuses used by the organisation were targeted by thieves. One vehicle was stolen, extensively damaged and stripped of its engine, while a second vehicle was broken into, sustaining damage to its bodywork and electrical components.
