A shipping container of hurricane relief supplies destined for Jamaica was stolen from a Mississauga storage unit in Canada on Tuesday night.

The containers contained clothes, food ,tools and generators.

According to CTV News, a police investigation is underway.

Michael Bennett told CTV News Toronto that he and other volunteers arrived at a public storage location, just east of Derry Road and Goreway Drive, on Wednesday morning to load the goods into a 20-foot truck, but everything was gone.

They had been gathering food, clothing, and generators for people in Jamaica who are recovering from the deadly category 5 storm and had filled several barrels and crates.

Another volunteer, Isaac Laird said in three weeks, they collected over $300,000 to $400,000 worth of items.

CTV News says Peel Regional Police have confirmed that they attended the storage facility, adding they believe the theft occurred overnight.
