Recovered undamaged, the boat stolen from Banner Recreation on Monday is on its way back to the Okanagan.

RCMP recovered the $145,000 boat and trailer from the Abbotsford area.

Cpl. Jeff Carroll says the Kelowna RCMP Prolific Offender Suppression Team (POST), which is part of the Street Enforcement Unit, hit the streets, worked extensively to develop leads and spent countless man hours on this investigation, which spanned multiple jurisdictions.

“As a result of contacts with several known prolific offenders in the Kelowna area and throughout the Southeast District, POST successfully tracked the stolen vessel to the Lower Mainland.”

Carrol explains the boat appears not to be damaged or altered.

"It was seized by the RCMP and turned over to a company affiliated with Banner Recreation in the Lower Mainland for arrangements to be made for its eventual return to Kelowna."

The boat was taken from Banner Recreation about 9:30 a.m. on June 20. Video surveillance of the theft captured a suspect tow the boat and trailer away from the business.
