The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service (WFPS) is warning the public about the theft of medications from an ambulance over the weekend.

According to the city, the medications were in a paramedic response bag, which was stolen Sunday morning while WFPS were responding to a call in the 600 block of William Avenue.

The medications in the kit are ones used for symptomatic relief or to help resuscitate patients. Many are packed in vials and are administered intravenously, WFPS said.

The service noted none of the medications in the kit contain narcotics but warn taking any amount of the medications without supervision can be dangerous or fatal.

WFPS said an internal investigation will take place.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 204-986-6222.
