A pair of kayaks that disappeared from a downtown Nanaimo parkade are now the subject of a police investigation. Nanaimo RCMP say the boats were inside a vehicle parked at a building on Cavan Street when they were taken. Investigators believe the theft occurred sometime after 10:30 p.m. on Aug. 19 and before the morning of Aug. 20. The two boats are described as a short kayak with orange and brown colouring, and a second kayak that is blue and white. Police estimate the combined value of the kayaks at roughly $1,000. RCMP are now asking anyone who may have seen something suspicious around the parkade during that timeframe, or who has information about where the kayaks ended up, to come forward. Tips can be provided to Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345.
