Tracking device on stolen Sea-Doo leads to recovery of stolen watercraft in Pitt Meadows
MISSION – Police are crediting a tracking device on a personal watercraft for aiding seizures of stolen property in Pitt Meadows.
RCMP say five stolen watercraft, including some Sea-Doo-branded vehicles and trailers, were recovered during a recent property search near the Golden Ears Bridge.
In a release, investigators say the theft of three stolen watercraft over the last month sparked the probe that disrupted a crime group’s efforts targeting Sea-Doo-style vehicles in several Lower Mainland cities.
“On September 20, a resident of Silverdale Avenue in Mission reported to police that someone had cut through a fence on her property and stolen her yellow Sea-Doo and trailer,” a Mission RCMP spokesperson said.
