The RCMP is asking for the public’s help as it tries to identify two persons of interest after items were stolen from a boat in Back Bay, N.B.

Police say two people boarded the boat at the Back Bay wharf around 2:35 a.m. on April 27 and stole several items, including multiple tools and a hockey bag.

During the investigation, members of the RCMP obtained surveillance video photos of the people and a vehicle of interest.

Police say one person appears to have been wearing a blue shirt with a light-coloured flannel on top, light grey ball cap, blue jeans, and green rubber boots.

The second person looks to have been wearing a black ball cap with a black hoodie that had a white logo and brand on the front.

Police say the vehicle is described as a blue pickup truck with white lettering on the windshield, a black or dark grey driver door, and a black or dark grey roof. Additionally, the vehicle did not have a tailgate, an amber top light, or a back lighting system.

"The reverse light on the passenger side was burnt, and the truck appears to have a 'lift kit' installed," said the RCMP in a news release.

Anyone with information about the theft or who recognizes the people or the vehicle is asked to contact St. George RCMP at 506-755-1130 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
