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.
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.
