Nanaimo RCMP seek owners of suspected stolen equipment recovered from vehicle
Investigators say many of the items may be tied to unreported thefts and ask workers to review photos and provide proof of ownership.
Nanaimo RCMP is asking the public to help identify recovered industrial tools and equipment suspected of being stolen from work sites and industrial areas.
Police recovered numerous items from a vehicle on Jackson Road at approximately 1 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 3, in the area of Jack Point and Biggs Park.
Insp. Donovan Tait, operations officer with Nanaimo RCMP, believes many items are connected to thefts that may never have been reported to police.
Anyone believing the recovered property belongs to them should contact Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345 and provide serial numbers, proof of ownership, or other identifying details.
Investigators encourage workers in forestry, logging, wildfire suppression, construction, and industrial sectors to review photographs of the items to help resolve suspected thefts.
