SALT LAKE CITY — The Salt Lake City Police Department is looking for the public’s help in locating a 2010 Chrysler Town and Country maroon mini-van. The van has an Arizona plate of WCJBG33.

At approximately 9:57 a.m. this morning the victim was warming up the specially-equipped van near the area of 700 N. and 800 W. when an unknown suspect took the van. The victim uses the van for her 27yr old son “Tommy” who was involved in car accident last year and is now a quadriplegic. Inside the stolen van is Tommy’s clothing, medical equipment and needed medication.

Tommy was recruited by Coach Dennis Erickson and played football at ASU. In January of 2015 Tommy along with his brother were involved in a serious car accident that resulted in a spine fracture leaving him a quadriplegic.
