Police in North Vancouver are working to track down several firefighter uniforms stolen during a break-in at a dry cleaner over the weekend.
North Vancouver RCMP said security video captured a man breaking into the business in the 900 block of West 3rd Street early Saturday morning.
In the video, a balaclava-clad suspect can be seen grabbing several North Vancouver City Fire Department uniforms from a rack.
“Police are concerned that an unauthorized individual may try to wear the uniform to commit further crimes by impersonating a firefighter,” North Vancouver RCMP Const. Mansoor Sahak said in a media release.
“Out of an abundance of caution, if anyone is suspicious of someone wearing a fire fighting uniform, they are encouraged to request further identification, such as employee ID, to confirm their identity.”
Police say the thief made off with four shirts emblazoned with NVCFD crests and two pairs of black pants.
Anyone with information or who recognizes the suspect is asked to call North Vancouver RCMP at 604-985-131.
