Loyalist looks to insurance company to replace stolen equipment

By: Nick Liard

Loyalist College expects its insurance company to reimburse the college for $150,000 dollars of equipment believed stolen last summer.

“We are continuing to talk to our colleagues at the Belleville police services, and our insurers, and it is kind of back and forth with talking to them,” said College President Maureen Piercy.

“We just got our final invoice for some of the replacement equipment so we are providing that information to our insurers, and we don’t see any reason why we won’t be eligible for re-imbursement. But we are continuing to work with the police also.”

A police investigation was needed after an internal college investigation solved nothing.

The missing equipment mostly consists of automotive and hand tools.
