Asbestos machine stolen from work site
Published 4:34 PDT, Tue October 30, 2018
A thief may have bitten off more than he or
she can chew, something that’s much more hazardous than it appears.
That’s according to Richmond Mounties, who on
Tuesday afternoon reported a theft from a work site that occurred hours earlier
Tuesday on the 8100 block of Westminster Highway.
Structures at the site were scheduled for
demolition, and industrial equipment was brought in to assist in the process,
including a OmniAire 2000C, a machine used to remove asbestos. Other equipment
was also reported as stolen to police, who arrived around 9 a.m. Tuesday.
Police are asking the public to avoid contact
with the machine without proper safety equipment. Asbestos particles can be
harmful if inhaled or handled.
Anyone with information about the stolen
device is asked to call the Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212.
