Seven wheelchair accessible vans used by a non-profit have been vandalized in Bethel.  The Ability Beyond vehicles, used  transport clients with disabilities to and from Day and Work programs were rendered undriveable on Saturday night.  Thieves stole all of the catalytic converters from the engines of the vans parked at the Ability Beyond offices on Berkshire Boulevard. 

Repairs can't be completed until after the new year. 

Bethel Police are investigating, going through security camera footage and asking anyone with information to contact the Department. 

President and CEO Jane Davis says transportation is a critical service the non profit provides, and without it, many clients would not be able to participate in their programs.  As a nonprofit, Davis says any unexpected expense hurts, and having vans out of service during the busy holiday season has created a challenge for them.
