Building on the success of the bait car program, the provincial government is now introducing bait boats. Solicitor General John Les introduced the program Friday as the latest tool to help law enforcement in the fight against crime. “More than 160 boats have been stolen in and around the Lower Mainland in the past year and a half," says Les. Les says in Kelowna and Penticton, 32 watercraft were stolen, including everything from jet bikes to large pleasure craft. According to Kelowna RCMP Constable Annie Linteau, approximately 26 watercraft were reported stolen in Kelowna in 2005, with another 12 thefts reported so far this year.
