Within hours of putting out a public plea for information about a stolen boat, the Mounties got their goods.
“The Kelowna RCMP would like to thank the citizens and businesses that assisted,” RCMP said in a Friday afternoon press release, adding that the boat was being returned to the owner shortly.
Earlier in the day, police said thieves made off with a boat and trailer Thursday and asked the community to report what they may have seen to help them track the watercraft.
While they had a good description of the boat, its licence plate was unknown.
“It’s important to keep key information such as licence plate numbers, serial numbers, and distinctive descriptions of your belongings. These details can assist the police in locating and returning stolen property,” Const. Mike Della-Paolera said.
