Emergency Health Services (EHS) is asking for help in tracking down a missing medical kit in Halifax.

EHS says the kit was reported missing from a scene in the city’s north end Tuesday night.

It contains first-aid supplies and medication, which EHS says could be harmful if used by someone who isn’t a trained health-care professional.

The canvas bag has shoulder straps and is about the same size as a large carry-on suitcase. It’s greenish-teal in colour with black vinyl on the bottom and has white cross stripes and a patch with an EHS logo on the front.

“If someone finds the kit, they should immediately call EHS at 1-844-424-5438, or any RCMP detachment or local police so the medication can be secured safely and returned,” said EHS in a statement Thursday.

“If any of the medications are ingested or injected, please call 911 immediately.”

EHS says it has reported the missing kit to police.
