Brazen safe theft caught on video at Edmonton animal rescue: "It’s devastating"

Rescues in Alberta have been struggling for some time now amid a high level of animals coming into their care, and now one is also dealing with a brazen theft that was caught on video. “The world is a little challenging for people right now and I think that in the nicest way I can put it — I think people are desperate,” said Leigh Melligan, Edmonton operations manager for the Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society. AARCS is based in Calgary but has a shelter in Edmonton. On Wednesday, it said a safe was stolen from its reception area around 6 p.m. “It held over $1,000 in donations from generous supporters like you – funds that were meant to help animals in desperate need,” AARCS said in a Facebook post containing video of the theft. Melligan said the safe contained about $1,200 in cash and cheques, along with some tablets, a POS machine, corporate credit card and other important business materials.
