The Peterborough County detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is investigating the theft of a $47,000 dock from a cottage on Crystal Lake in Trent Lakes east of Kinmount early Saturday morning (June 17).
Officers received a call on Saturday from a cottage owner on Crystal Lake reporting a dock and tied-off boat has been removed from the shoreline of their property at around 1:30 a.m.
The dock and boat was then floated across the lake, where the boat was untied and the dock was taken apart and loaded on the back of a utility trailer before being taken away.
The value of the stolen dock is estimated at over $47,000. The boat has since been recovered. A local security camera captured an image of what appears to be a light-coloured SUV or pickup truck with a cap towing a trailer with the dock loaded on it shortly after 6 a.m.
Investigators are actively looking for information that may lead to the identification of the suspect or suspects involved in this theft.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the Peterborough OPP at 705-742-0401 or the non-emergency line 1-888-310-1122. If you prefer to remain anonymous, you can submit a tip to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at stopcrimehere.ca.
