Police to investigate missing equipment

About $25,000 worth of hospital equipment was reported missing from Mount Nittany Medical Center on Thursday, the State College Police Department said.

Members of the medical center staff believe the five laparoscopes, valued at $5,000 each, were taken sometime in December, police said. Laparoscopes are about 12 to 18 inches long and are used for viewing the abdomen and pelvic areas. An investigation is pending, police said.
