Stolen Interlakes (Canada) Pickup Truck Found

The Interlakes Volunteer Fire Department says someone broke into its Bridge Lake fire hall Friday night and stole a pickup truck, though officials say the apparatus was found over the weekend.

The $90,000 white Ford F150 was recovered Sunday morning.

The fire truck doesn’t have any physical damage, but a report in globalnews.ca says its medical supplies and loose items are all gone. Officials say most of the stolen equipment is already backordered and difficult to obtain.

The theft and recovery come just a day after Williams Lake area officials recovered a Central Cariboo Search and Rescue truck stolen the week prior, according to the report. The thefts occurred about 84 miles apart.
