Topeka (Kansas) police are investigating the theft of a van carrying bio-medical waste materials.

Police were called to 3520 West 6th Friday morning on the theft. Through an electronic tracking app, police were able to track a cell phone left in the car to Hummer Sports park. The car was there, but no phone. It was then tracked to a driveway in the 600 block of Oakley. Police were unable to locate the suspect.

Seems some people are prepared to steal almost anything, though whether it was the van or the waste – containing perhaps pharmaceutical residues – that was the intended target is as yet unknown.
