(KLZA)-- Two Falls City women have been arrested for stealing a medical device valued at around $30,000.

Falls City Assistant Police Chief Jamie Baker said a resident had left a wound vac on his front porch for UPS to pickup and return.  When he discovered UPS hadn't picked it up, he contacted police.  

Baker said 39-year-old Dawn Wisdom and 40-year-old Melissa Runkles were issued a citation Monday for stealing the machine and then released from custody. Baker said the investigation is ongoing and that more arrests are possible in connection with the theft.  

Baker noted the publics cooperation is very important in solving crimes and urges everyone to contact law enforcement when you see something suspicious.
