Kootenay Lake boat heist foiled

It’s fishing season and but it appears the police were the ones who got the trophy Saturday.

Nelson RCMP took a call about a boat theft in progress from the north shore.

The suspect drove off with the aluminum boat followed by two accomplices in another stolen craft.

The three suspects were promptly arrested.
