Darpan News Desk Surrey RCMP, 17 Mar, 2021 10:59 PM

After other investigative avenues were unsuccessful, Surrey RCMP asked for help from the public to locate two CPAP machines, which were stolen from a vehicle in Whalley.

Two days later, on March 14, 2021, a member of the public turned the stolen equipment over to police in a Whalley parking lot. It is not known where the person obtained them.

We would like to thank the public and our media partners for helping with the recovery of the medical equipment and of course, the person who turned the items in, says Surrey RCMP Media Relations Officer, Corporal Joanie Sidhu. The owner of the equipment has been contacted and has also expressed their gratitude.

Surrey RCMP frontline officers are arranging with the owner to return the items to them.
