WFPS warns public after medical response bag stolen

The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service is warning the public after a medical response bag containing potentially dangerous medications was stolen from the scene of an emergency on Tuesday.

WFPS said none of the medications in the bag are narcotics, but taking any of them without medical supervision could prove dangerous or even fatal.

Most of the medications are used to relieve symptoms or during patient resuscitation and are intended to be administered intravenously. They are packaged in vials and are not meant to be taken orally.

The theft has been reported to the Winnipeg Police Service. Anyone with information about the missing bag or its contents is asked to contact police at 204-986-6222.
