Calgary police have recovered a handgun and body armour that were inside an RCMP vehicle stolen from a northeast parking lot last week.
The RCMP-issue gun and body armour were recovered Sunday, police said, declining to provide additional details due to the ongoing investigation.
Investigators said they've also located a missing badge and other stolen items.
The unmarked RCMP vehicle, a silver 2018 Nissan Rogue with Alberta plates, was taken sometime between 10:15 and 10:35 p.m. on March 12, along with a loaded Smith & Wesson handgun, soft body armour, badge, police identification, pepper spray and handcuffs.
An on-duty RCMP officer had gone into a nearby building and had placed the vehicle's keys in a bag, which was placed inside a locker, which police said was broken into.
The following afternoon, the vehicle was located in the parking lot of a church in the 2800 block of 19th Street N.W.
The investigation continues and anyone with information is asked to call police at 403-266-1234 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.
