This is the shocking moment heartless thieves broke into and stole a terminally ill boy's specially modified van. 

Elijah Cariazo, 13, was born with a rare muscular condition called myotubular myopathy which makes it difficult for him to breathe and swallow.

Police are investigating the theft of a grey Ford Transit Custom that was specially converted by Elijah's family to transport him to hospital. 

Horrifying footage shows hooded thieves dressed in black breaking into the van in Hackney early on Tuesday morning before speeding off with it. 

Elijah's mother Onessa said the van cannot be easily replaced as it took nine months to modify for her son's needs.
