Police have recovered a young disabled Dunedin boy's e-bike and returned it to his family. Missing the valuable help his electric bike provided before it was stolen from his Pine Hill home is Kasem Zarzar (14). Senior Sergeant Craig Dinnissen said the bike was returned to a very happy Kasem, undamaged, and with the lock still attached. Halberg Foundation lead adviser for Otago Bridget Meyer said the bike allowed Kasem to be independent, to go to school and to hang out with his friends. Mrs Zarzar said her sons Kasem and 5-year-old Mohammed and their happiness were the most important thing.
