An animal shelter in Edmonton that was the victim of theft this weekend recovered one of the stolen items Monday.
The Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society (AARCS) posted on social media that its Sprinter van, used to transport animals around Edmonton and Calgary, had been recovered, albeit without its catalytic converter.
Video surveillance captured early Saturday showed three people forcing open the door to the organization’s south Edmonton facility, AARCS said.

Leigh McLean, operations manager for AARCS Edmonton, said the suspects also took laptops, tablets, payment processing machines, credit cards, cash and gift cards before finding the keys to the AARCS van.
The gate to the society property is now damaged as the organization believes the suspects rammed the van through the gate to get out. Security cameras were unplugged before they took the van, said McLean, so not everything was recorded.
