Transport van recovered after break-in at Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society
The Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society in Edmonton found its animal transport van on Sunday after it was stolen Saturday morning.
The thieves crashed the truck right through the back gate at 8108 Coronet Rd. and security footage shows three people entering the building.
The society says they stole various items like computers, tablets, a credit card, cash and gift cards.

The biggest loss was the society's branded animal transport van.
"It's really hurtful that these people felt that they could come into the building and take the pieces of our operations that we really heavily rely on," said AARCS's Leigh McLean.
AARCS filed a police report.

No animals were harmed and all were accounted for.
"Thank goodness everybody was alright, nobody was too freaked out," McLean said. "I don't think based on our footage that they didn't pay any attention to the animals at all, which is good."
The stolen credit card was used at a gas station northeast of Edmonton, McLean said.
The van was found a day later, without its catalytic converter.
