Three men sought in theft of colonoscopy equipment from Toronto hospital

TORONTO — Police say three people broke into a Toronto hospital and made off with about $1.2 million in endoscopic and surgical equipment.

Const. David Hopkinson says gastroscopes and colonoscopes were among the items taken from Toronto Western Hospital.
Investigators say three men went to the fourth floor of the hospital on Saturday afternoon and forced their way into a surgical area.

They say a large quantity of medical equipment was taken and loaded into a silver minivan.
