Emergency Health Services (EHS) is asking for the public’s help to find an equipment kit that was reported missing from a scene in Lower Sackville at about 3 a.m. on Monday, January 2.

The kit is the size of a large carry-on suitcase and has shoulder straps. It is made of green/teal canvas with black vinyl on the bottom and has two white stripes that make an X and an EHS patch on the front.

The kit contains medication that can be harmful if used by people who are not trained healthcare professionals. If someone finds the bag, they should immediately call EHS at 1-888-346-9999, or any RCMP detachment or local police so the medication can be secured safely and returned.

If someone ingests or injects the medications, 911 should be called immediately.

EHS has reported the incident to the RCMP and Halifax Regional Police.
