The Nanaimo RCMP is asking for the public's assistance in identifying the owners of numerous items of recovered property believed to have been stolen from logging operations, fire suppression sites, and other industrial work locations.

"We believe many of these items are connected to thefts that may never have been reported to police,"said Inspector Donovan Tait, Operations Officer, Nanaimo RCMP. "We encourage anyone working in the forestry, logging, wildfire suppression, construction, or industrial sectors to carefully review the photographs and contact investigators if they recognize any of the recovered items."

Anyone who believes the recovered property may belong to them is asked to contact the Nanaimo RCMP non-emergency line at 250-754-2345. Callers should be prepared to provide identifying details, serial numbers, proof of ownership, or other information that can help confirm ownership.
