Police in North Vancouver are working to track down several firefighter uniforms stolen during a break-in at a dry cleaner earlier this week.

North Vancouver RCMP said security video captured a man breaking into the business in the 900 block of West 3rd Street early Saturday morning.

In the video, a balaclava-clad suspect can be seen grabbing several North Vancouver City Fire Department uniforms from a rack.

“Police are concerned that an unauthorized individual may try to wear the uniform to commit further crimes by impersonating a firefighter,” North Vancouver RCMP Const. Mansoor Sahak said in a media release.
