Eureka Police are investigating the theft of a city-owned boat from a wastewater treatment facility at 33 Truitt Drive. A section of fence surrounding the facility previously had been removed because flood mediation work was underway at the site, police reported.
A 14-foot, green 2014 Bass Track johnboat had been stored next to the facility’s building, and it was discovered missing at about 1 p.m. May 2. It is not known when the boat was last seen at the facility, the report said.
The boat was valued at about $700, according to the report.
As of May 6, the boat had not been recovered, and no suspects had been identified, Lt. Michael Werges said. He asks anyone with information about the boat to call Eureka Police at 636-938-6600.
