Seeking Public Assistance – Propane Theft

The Calgary Police Service is seeking public assistance as they investigate the theft of propane.

Between mid-December 2013 and mid-January, up to 60, 20-pound canisters of propane were taken from a storage area in southeast Calgary.

It is unclear if the propane tanks were taken all at once or over a period of time.

The theft was recently discovered by employees, and reported to police.

At this point, the intended use of the stolen propane tanks is unknown. It is also not known whether they remain in Calgary or have been transported elsewhere.

The theft of a large quantity of a flammable commodity has led to concerns about where the material is being stored and how it is being transported.

The investigation continues, and officers are working closely with the business.

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call police at 403-266-1234 or Crime Stoppers anonymously using any of the following methods:
