OKLAHOMA CITY
--
Edmond firefighters are working to warn neighborhoods that a thief could have the gate codes to their communities.
Edmond Fire Chief Tim Wheeler said last week the department sent a fire truck to Cummins Southern Plains in Oklahoma City for maintenance work.
Someone broke into the garage and stole various equipment from the truck, including hand-held radios and possibly a map book with codes to gated communities.
Wheeler said that as a precaution, firefighters are calling those communities asking them to change their codes.
Wheeler said the department also took the stolen radios offline.
He estimated that $15,000 to $20,000 worth of equipment is missing from the truck.
Wheeler said Oklahoma City Police are investigating the case.
