Iqaluit RCMP investigate theft at First Air cargo

Iqaluit RCMP are looking for two males who reportedly stole money and liquor from the city's First Air cargo building early Tuesday morning.

First Air says the cargo reception area was briefly closed that morning, as RCMP investigators collected fingerprints and looked at the building's security tape.

Sgt. Yvonne Niego says the break-in happened between 2 and 2:30 a.m.

"There were several shipments of alcohol that were expected to be received here," said Niego. "Those boxes were taken."

Niego says anyone with information on the incident should contact the Iqaluit RCMP detachment or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

A spokesperson for First Air says clients who would like information about their shipments should call the airline's Customer Contact Centre at 1-800-267-1247.
