RCMP are searching for thieves who stole more than $100,000 worth of property from an Alberta fire hall.
Leduc RCMP responded to a break-and-enter call in Calmar at 8 a.m. on Saturday.
Two people forced their way into the town’s fire hall and were captured on security video stealing various pieces of medical equipment, including a red hydraulic generator, Jaws of Life, three air-lifting bags and three medical kits.
“This seems like it was almost targeted," Leduc Fire Chief Keven Lefebvre told CTV News on Monday. "[It's] pretty specific equipment.”
The Jaws of Life are particularly important.
“If there was a bad vehicle accident where somebody needed to be pulled out ot their car, this wasn't available to us," Lefebvre said. "It's pretty good at cutting pretty strong metal."
The car the thieves drove, a dark grey Mitsubishi Eclipse, was stolen in Mayerthorpe on Jan. 20.
One person was dressed in all black in coveralls, a jacket and balaclava.
The second was wearing blue jeans, black jacket and black balaclava.
Those with information about the theft are asked to call investigators at 780-980-7267 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
