Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 23 Dec, 2024 11:24 AM
  • Mounties in Squamish, B.C., recover stolen search-and-rescue equipment

Mounties in Squamish say they have recovered BC Parks and search-and-rescue equipment that was stolen this fall. 

They say in a news release that police received a report on Oct. 18 that a BC Parks storage unit had been broken into overnight and "large items" stolen.

Then, on Nov. 21, they received a report of a theft from a vehicle in Whistler, B.C., with the value of stolen items in both incidents totalling more than $20,000.

Police say about a week later officers attending an unrelated call saw some of the stolen gear in the Squamish Valley area. 

The Sea to Sky RCMP say a search warrant was conducted on Nov. 29 and police recovered some of the stolen search-and-rescue gear and other valuables.

Officers are reminding the public to contact police immediately after a theft.
