Two suspects are being sought after a fishing boat on a trailer was reported stolen from a storage facility in North Kawartha Township last weekend.

Peterborough County OPP say around 6:10 a.m., two suspects first cut off a padlock to a locked gate at a facility along Jack’s Lake Road, a few kilometres south of the village of Apsley. They then used a vehicle to tow away a trailer carrying a large fishing boat.

The following items — estimated at a combined $25,000 — were reported stolen:

  • Black 2019 14-foot Lund 1400 Fury SS bass boat bearing hull identification number (HIN) LBBJC399A919 and an Ontario registration of ON6911121.
  • Black Mercury ELPT25 25-horsepower four-stroke motor bearing serial number OR900451.
  • Black 2019 Shorelander B14 boat trailer bearing vehicle identification number 1MDA5AP15KA671741. The boat was winterized with blue shrink wrap.

One suspect is a man of average height with a slim build who was wearing a dark hoodie with a symbol in the middle, work boots, a ball cap and camouflage.
