Someone had their boat stolen just before the long weekend.

RCMP in Kelowna say a power boat on a trailer was taken from the 800 block of Academy Way on Thursday, June 29.

The stolen boat is described as a 21-foot 1998 Beige Regal with a green stripe around it, and it was being transported on a dual axle trailer with an unknown license plate.

“It’s important to keep key information such as license 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.

RCMP is asking anyone with dash camera footage or who witnessed any suspicious activity on that night to call (250) 762-3300 and reference file number 2023-36789.
