Several fire department uniforms were stolen during a break-and-enter at a North Vancouver business earlier this week.
Police responded to a reported break-and-enter at a dry cleaner located in the 900 block of West 3rd Street in North Vancouver on October 5th.
CCTV footage showed a man breaking in and stealing several North Vancouver City Fire Department (NVCFD) uniforms that were hanging from a rack. These uniforms included four shirts emblazoned with NVCFD crests.
Police have released CCTV video of the suspect inside the dry cleaners in hopes of advancing the investigation.
