SYDNEY — Emergency Health Services is missing a medical bag and the Cape Breton Regional Police and EHS are reaching out to the public for help.
Regional police spokesperson Desiree Magnus said EHS contacted police Tuesday, June 22, to report a medical bag that was believed to have been left behind at a medical call on Victoria Road, Sunday, June 19, at around 11 p.m.
The red canvas medical bag has black vinyl on the bottom and an EHS logo on the top.
Magnus said police have spoken with witnesses in the area and no one reported seeing the bag. If anyone sees it, or has information on where it is, they are asked to contact EHS at 1-888-346-9999 or police at 902-563-5151.
Meanwhile, EHS issued a
statement asking the public for help in locating the bag, which they confirm went missing when paramedics were responding to a call in the Sydney area Sunday evening. Anyone finding the bag is urged to call EHS immediately or any detachment of the RCMP or regional police, so the medications in the bag can be secured and safely returned.
They also stated the medication is extremely dangerous if used by people who are not trained health care professionals. If the medications are ingested, those involved are urged to call 911 immediately.
