Berwyn family to receive new tricycle for 5-year-old boy with special needs after last one was stolen

A boy with special needs in Berwyn, Illinois, will be getting a brand-new tricycle after his family says his previous one was stolen. 

Five-year-old Santiago has cerebral palsy and uses a Rifton adaptive blue trike three times a week to get around.

The tricycle was stolen from the family's back porch in Berwyn last week.

The family says Santiago is a warrior, but he depended on his tricycle, and says he's been asking for it.

On Tuesday, the family said that a new one is on the way thanks to the bike's manufacturer and the Berwyn Police Department, who are teaming up to deliver the tricycle for free.
