Investigators say they've recovered an unmarked RCMP vehicle in Calgary on Wednesday afternoon, less than 24 hours after it went missing.
Officials say the vehicle was taken from the lot sometime between 10:15 and 10:35 p.m. on March 12.
The vehicle belonged to an on-duty RCMP officer who was inside a nearby building. The officer had placed the keys inside a bag that had been placed inside a locker.
At some point, the bag was taken from the locker and the offenders were then able to access the vehicle parked in the lot.
