SQUAMISH, B.C. – Mounties in Squamish, B.C., 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.
