A youngster was left stranded after a group of yobs threw her crutches into a tree.
The teenager, who does not want to be named, was sitting outside her house in Hartlepool on Sunday evening when the group, who were drunk, took her crutches, which she needs after breaking her ankle. The fire brigade had to be called to retrieve a crutch stuck up the tree.
