A MAN is due in court charged with theft, dangerous driving, criminal damage and using a mobile phone whilst driving.
The charges relate to an incident in Co Tyrone last month during which an elderly man's mobility scooter was stolen from Church Street in Ballygawley and destroyed.
The vehicle, which was taken on Sunday October 24, was tied to the back of a car and dragged away.
Video footage, which was widely circulated, showed a man attach the scooter to the back of a car before driving off.
In a second video, which was taken inside the car, a number of men can be heard laughing.
The vehicle was then seen to pull to the side of the road, where the scooter was unattached before it was pushed over as the men could be heard laughing.
A PSNI spokesman said the scooter was "found damaged beyond repair".
Police said that a 22-year-old man had been charged with theft, dangerous driving, criminal damage and using a mobile phone whilst driving.
He is due to appear before Dungannon Magistrates Court on Wednesday, December 8.
