UPDATE: The stolen truck containing radioactive material has been found intact.

—————-

A truck carrying radioactive equipment was stolen this weekend after the unlocked vehicle was left running outside a hotel in Fort McMurray.

“When the driver came back to find the vehicle, it was gone,” RCMP Cpl. Sean Maxwell explained Sunday.

“It’s nothing that doesn’t happen here or in big cities this time of year … people leave their vehicles running with the doors unlocked and a crime of opportunity happens.

“The difference in this case is that this vehicle is an oilfield vehicle that contains some radioactive materials in the back for doing some seismic work.”

Maxwell declined to say which company owned the Ford F-350, licence plate H04411, but asked the public to be on the lookout for the vehicle.
