Port St. Lucie Police are looking for a suspect who stole a minivan with a wheelchair-bound man inside.

The non-verbal man was found safe, along with the van.

The vehicle was stolen outside a convenience store on Bayshore Boulevard Monday afternoon.

A group home employee was driving the 55-year old wheelchair-dependent man and got out of the vehicle at the store. That's when someone got into the minivan and drove off with the group home resident still inside.
