Several firefighter uniforms have been returned to the police after they were stolen from a dry cleaners in North Vancouver.

North Vancouver police had issued a request for the public’s help after a man broke into a dry cleaner business in Central Lonsdale in the early hours of Oct. 5, and took several North Vancouver City Fire Department Uniforms.

The uniforms comprised four shirts emblazoned with NVCFD crests and two pairs of black pants.
