Maple Ridge RCMP recover stolen equipment

MAPLE RIDGE — Mounties in Maple Ridge say they’ve recovered more than $200 thousand worth of stolen property after tracking a GPS locator last week.

Police say they received a report on May 9 about stolen commercial equipment.

“The prompt response and combined effort of the various units involved not only helped recover the property of this complainant but also yielded a positive outcome for additional property representatives,” said Sergeant Joe Whalley with the Specialized Response Team unit.

Officers later set up surveillance around a property in Maple Ridge where the stolen equipment was stored.
