Eight-year-old Sawyer Burns of Haverhill has his homemade pedal car back.
Police reported the successful recovery of the car yesterday after it was apparently stolen from the family’s backyard last weekend. The pedal car was built by the boy’s grandfather out of PVC plastic pipes and fitted with wheels.
“Recovered! The police just dropped it off. It sustained some heavy damage and cannot be driven, but we received a generous offer from Ayer Sales to help fix it,” said the boy’s mother, Brenda Burns, in a Facebook post.
