Health officials are looking for a medical kit that has disappeared.

Emergency Health Services says the equipment went missing at around 3 a.m. Monday in Lower Sackville.

“The kit contains medication that can be harmful if used by people who are not trained healthcare professionals,” said a news release from the Department of Health and Wellness.

“If someone ingests or injects the medications, 911 should be called immediately.”

It’s described as a green/teal canvas bag with shoulder straps and black vinyl on the bottom.

It has two white stripes in the shape of an X along with an EHS patch on the front and it’s about the size of a large carry-on suitcase.

If found, immediately call EHS at 1-888-346-9999 or local police so the medication can be secured safely and returned.
